COVER REVEAL: Liminal Shroud - Through the False Narrows

October 5, 2020

As the skies turn grey and dense fogs hang above the shoreline, Liminal Shroud will expel a swirl of melancholia and torment over its moss-strewn forests and perilous waves.

On Friday November 20, their debut "Through the False Narrows" will be released through Hypnotic Dirge, but before we get ahead of ourselves, let us first reveal the exemplary cover art from Victoria-based artist Alayna Coral Gretton.

"Through the False Narrows" comprises the following tracklist:

1 - A Hollow Visage (11:16)

2 - Tainted Soil (6:33)

3 - To Forget (8:10)

4 - The Grotto (6:19)

5 - Erupting Light (4:08)

6 - Sentinel (6:56)

7 - Lucidity (11:05)

Total: 54:30

Next week we will release the track "Sentinel" so you can all hear a preview from the record, and shortly afterwards we'll launch pre-orders.

Stay tuned!

MUSIC VIDEO: Marche Funèbre - The Maelstrom Mute

September 3, 2020

Marche Funèbre releases the new video clip for the track "The Maelstrom Mute" from their upcoming album "Einderlicht", due for release on September 25.

Following the lyric video for "When All Is Said", this is the second and final clip to be released prior to the album release.

This is the probably the most digestible song on the album, with the lack of growls and emphasis on melody. We hope you like it!

Thanks to Doom-metal.com for helping us with the premiere!
