On Lonely Towers hits stores on March 30th, 2015 in Europe and March 24th in North America through Century Media.
Bassist Olli-Pekka Laine comments on the music: "Varying from 90's death and doom metal to 70's avant-garde prog rock, 'A Shapeless Derelict' represents Barren Earth's roots in their purest form. Let the track's original title, Kingtopsy, a hybrid between King Crimson and Autopsy, do the talking. Having these ingredients blended and represented in modern, but still traditional standards, 'A Shapeless Derelict' simply stands up to its name: Abandoned and deserted at sea - moaning alone, oddly, yet proudly!"
Singer Jón Aldará describes the story behind the lyrics: "A forsaken girl wanders through both physical and mental landscapes without direction as hallucinations and desperation tear at her mind. This is a metaphor-heavy song about overcoming the fear of being nothing in a world without true meaning and gaining courage to live nonetheless."
