Finland's Sinisthra have recently signed with Italian label Rockshots Records for the release of their new album, titled The Broad and Beaten Way. This effort, which will be released on May 15th, comes 15 years after the debut Last Of The Stories Of Long Past Glories. Below you can check out the cover artwork, tracklist and first single ''Closely Guarded Distance''.




The band comments about the song: "Closely Guarded Distance" is the centrepiece of the album and probably the hardest to digest of the whole lot. So we chose it as the first "single". It's some 13 minutes long, divided into three parts. The first phase is the courting, the second phase is the fulfilment and the final phase is aftermath. Musically it's an amalgamation of several half- finished and half- discarded songs we had lying around. I think it represents what Sinisthra is about, with all our main ingredients neatly distilled into one song."
