Progressive US black metal duo Obsidian Tongue will release their new album, Eclipsing Worlds Of Scorn, on May 30th via Profound Lore Records. The band has shared the album's opening track, called "Orphaned Spiritual Warrior". You can check out the song below.




According to the press release, "in the summer of 2024, Obsidian Tongue, comprised of vocalist/guitarist/bassist Brendan Hayter (Thrawsunblat / Obsequiae live) and drummer Raymond Capizzo (Falls Of Rauros / Panopticon live) returned to the all-analog Mystic Valley Studio, where their first two records were made, to print their COVID-era home sessions onto two-inch tape. Mixed and mastered in the analog domain as well by Alex Garcia-Rivera, Eclipsing Worlds Of Scorn, boasts a unique and unmistakable sonic force amidst the modern digital landscape; created with a total absence of click tracks, quantization, or sound replacement of any kind.

The progressive black metal journey that is Eclipsing Worlds Of Scorn takes off immediately with the wrathful sounds of “Orphaned Spiritual Warrior” and “Snakeskin Tunnel Colony”, easily the band’s two heaviest tracks to date. These flow directly into the apocalyptic title track, and onto the vulnerable and surreal sounds of “To Forgive Oneself” leading into the acoustic instrumental “...And Still They Dream...”. This dream ends with the triumphant “Theater of Smoke & Wind”, a true psychedelic black metal classic that still evokes some of the original feeling found on the band’s Volume I: Subradiant Architecture debut."
