ALBUM ART: Forlesen - Hierophant Violent

February 14, 2020

Today we are pleased to unveil the album cover artwork crafted by none other than Benjamin A. Vierling (Aosoth, The Ajna Offensive, Joanna Newsom)

"Hierophant Violent" is due for release on Hypnotic Dirge on March 27.

Comprising of two tracks nearing twenty minutes a piece, “Hierophant Violent” is a delicate and hypnotic sensory experience incorporating a myriad of styles and influences to craft a work of art which is cathartic and illuminating. Each track is a journey unfolding different aspects of the band’s sound, drawing inspiration from artists as diverse as Low, Leviathan, Skepticism and Dead Can Dance.

Tracklist:

1 - Following Light (17:52)

2 - Nightbridge (18:13)

ALBUM RELEASE: Frigoris - ...in Stille

January 30, 2020

*January 24, 2020*
