Hail Spirit Noir - Detail New Studio Album, Teaser Available
Greek psychedelic prog metal band Hail Spirit Noir announce details surrounding its fourth studio album, entitled Eden In Reverse. It is set to be out on June 19th via Agonia Records. The upcoming outing was recorded at Lunatech Studios, produced and mixed by Dimitris Douvras (Rotting Christ) and mastered by Alan Douches (Nile, Aborted, Sepultura). The record features also a guest appearance from Lars Nedland of Borknagar.
Hail Spirit Noir had this to say on the new album: "This is the album we've spent the most time on. We started off doing some experiments without any idea where they could lead to. After the first 3-4 tracks, we realized we were onto something new for the band. We were no longer in the 60s-70s zone but more in the 70s-80s. The songs sounded retro-futuristic and surreal but they were also more prog, psychedelic and challenging than ever. In the lyrics, we re-wrote the story of Eden from a surreal, Richard Dawkins-esque, Darwinian point of view. The result was Eden In Reverse."

Unless Vindsval releases something, this is my most anticipated record this year, by far.

This just made the top of my list of the most anticipated albums of 2020 along with Havok, Lamb of God, Sojourner and Green Carnation. Also as a fan of synthwave the Incense Swirls remix really piques my interest.

I love the artwork, I love the concept, I love the title, I love this band. This is genuine fanboy anticipation right here.

Still skeptical of one of my favourite bands going 80s, but so far it sounds good.

I'm actually very curious about what a shift to "70s/80s instead of 60s/70s" might mean sound wise. If it ends up sounding a bit more electronic and synth-heavy as a result I'm definitely game for that
