PRE-ORDERS: Liminal Shroud - Through the False Narrows

October 26, 2020
Today, we launch pre-orders for the release of Liminal Shroud's "Through the False Narrows"! 
Hailing from Vancouver island off the North American west coast, Liminal Shroud has been active since late 2017, released a demo in the summer of 2018, and have been crafting their momentous debut full-length album. We are now one step closer to see its imminent release on November 20.



Liminal Shroud takes inspiration from the surging oceans and mist-strewn coast as they explore themes of futility, passage, and individual and metaphysical transformation. With a three-piece format, Liminal Shroud’s sound is stripped-back yet immersive, with expansive guitars underpinned by a driving and dynamic rhythm section; kindling a form of black metal surging with atmosphere and anguish, melancholy and rage.

As with all of our releases this year, we are offering a bundle option for those who want to pick up some limited merch! The Liminal Shroud bundle includes no less than 6 items in total including the Digipack CD, shirt, patch, magnet, metallic button, and holographic sticker. Those who prefer to keep it simple can of course order the CD, shirt, or digital album on their own, and as with the last few releases, we are including a free woven patch with the first 100 CD orders which should provide a bit of extra incentive to take advantage of the pre-order!

Below is a bit more detail on the bundle as well as the shirt and CD.

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!
