Arizona death metal band Wyrmhaven will drop their debut album this May.
Revealed today, Seasons of Gloom is slated for a May 29 release. The 10-track album was co-produced by the band and Ryan Bram (Gatecreeper, Spirit Adrift, Terminal Nation). The band said this about the forthcoming album:
“Seasons Of Gloom is a manifestation of perseverance in light of the struggles that we have faced in this season of life. To us, this album is a recognition that something worthwhile can exist in spite of the many troubles growing around us. The music is deeper and more intricate than before, and we honed our writing process by both starting and finalizing everything as a live group. Lyrically, the songs carry a message of personal and inner struggle coupled with existential crisis, where rot, decay, and stagnation seep through every distorted syllable. A lot of people feel the gloom and sorrow of this season of humanity. We hope our music resonates with those who need it in the same way we needed to channel our own raw emotions while making it.”
A new single from the album titled “Morning Star” can be heard here. Vocalist Steve Naemark, said this about the track:
“‘Morning Star’ is written from the occult perspective that our subconscious is the creator of the reality we perceive. The lyrics depict an undead army rising to pay tribute to The Lightbringer. In this context, that imagery is symbolic for serving yourself to become a more complete individual. Some parts of ourselves are not pleasant to know, and ‘Morning Star’ is about choosing not to lie to yourself.”
