Sensory Records has issued the details for the newest album by Italian progressive metal sextet Kingcrow. Titled The Persistence, it is set for worldwide release on September 7th via Sensory Records in conjunction with the band's European tour supporting Pain Of Salvation. See the cover art, tracklist and all available details below.

Kingcrow's upcoming album, The Persistence, closes a three-year gap since their acclaimed Eidos album. Recorded at Sound Under Pressure, it was produced by Kingcrow's Diego and Thundra Cafolla, mixed by Giampiero Ulacco, and completed with the photography and design of Devilnax photoart, all the same as the album's predecessor.

Diego Cafolla offers: "With the last record, Eidos, we finished what we call the 'life trilogy' which included Phlegethon, In Crescendo, and Eidos, and when we started talking about the new chapter everyone agreed we needed somehow to step a bit outside of our comfort zone and refresh our sound. With that in mind, I started to write a lot of music, which ended up being three hours of music more or less, trying different things until I came up with a couple of songs that sounded interesting and fresh to us and showcased the 'X factor' of the new record. 'Everything Goes' and 'Devil's Got A Picture' were the first two written. These early songs sounded different from what we did in the past but still somehow sounding like us, with a kind of a dark ambient, more modern vibe mixed with a heavier rock attitude. Devilnax was also determined to have a different cover style for the album, and after nights spent listening to the demos and discussing the lyrical content, for the first time all by vocalist Diego Marchesi, he came up with that very powerful image that fits beautifully with the main vibe of The Persistence."

The Persistence will be released on CD, 2xLP, and digital formats worldwide. The vinyl version features three bonus tracks recorded at ProgPower USA have a new mastering by Alan Douches on the D-side.
