Italy's bass-driven black/death metal purveyors Thecodontion have unveiled details for their debut record, entitled Supercontinent. Set to be released on June 26th, it features 11 tracks. One of these - "Kenorland" - can be listened via Bandcamp down under. Recording process was handled by Guglielmo Nodari, Marco Salluzzo was responsible for the mixing and mastering at Necromorbus Studio (Sweden), and Stefan Thanneur (Chaos Ech?s) created the artwork & design.

Explanation behind the album's concept: As the album title suggests, Supercontinent is a conceptual voyage through various stages of ancient Earth's continental drift phase, from the earliest known super continent ("Vaalbara") to the most recent one ("Pangaea"). Extensive researches with an almost scientific approach have been made for the lyrical department; and yet there is a strong pursuit for a certain vivid imagery, with poetic descriptions of ancient lifeforms populating the planet during the various geological eras, and cataclysmic events leading to the break up and collision of landmasses. The four instrumental non-metal songs feature short poems about super oceans: enormous bodies of water which surrounded these continental assemblies.
