Husband and wife death metal/folk duo Hand of Kalliach have signed to Prosthetic Records.

Announced on Tuesday, the act will release their sophomore studio album Corryvreckan on February 23 via their new label. John (vocals, guitars, drums) said this about their new studio album:

"We are massively excited to be releasing our sophomore album Corryvreckan on Prosthetic - we’re both longtime fans of the label and are thrilled to join such a phenomenal roster.

As with our debut Samhainn, this record thematically borrows from the legend of the Cailleach, the ancient witch god of Winter from Scottish Celtic mythology. Ambiguously represented as both a vengeful hag and a youthful woman, a bitter destroyer and nurturing paragon of nature, the duality of the Cailleach is a large inspiration for our hybrid sound of melodeath and ethereal folk, and we really loved being able to represent those contrasts in both this track and the broader album, Corryvreckan.”

A new song from the record titled "Fell Reigns” arrives with a music video, which can be viewed below. Sophie (vocals and bass) said this about the new song:

“With ‘Fell Reigns,’ we wanted to explore her seasonal rise to power at Samhainn -- the end of Summer and beginning of Winter -- from a different perspective - that of one of her unnamed eight attendants, that assist her in ushering in Winter.”
