NEWS: Slyther find bone in their booze?

Continuing their assault in Thrash, Italian four piece Slyther have pushed the button on the next advanced listen from their 10th October via Time To Kill Records releasing debut album “Chronicles of Despair“. This one is called “Flask N’ Bone” with the album itself a concept record which explores the darkest tensions of the human soul and contemporary society. In a world marked by war, corruption, media manipulation, and existential crisis, the album is said to be a journey that moves from despair to inner awakening, tackling pressing themes with raw, direct and emotionally charged language. Pre-orders are available over at bandcamp.

The band comment: “’Flask N’ Bone’ – Remorse, self-destruction, and the emptiness left by a corrupted conscience. Opening the concept album Chronicles of Despair, Flask N’ Bone tells the downward spiral of a corrupt lawyer, a symbol of power wielded without justice or ethics. The turning point comes with the suicide of a mother to whom he denied custody of her child and any means of support, marking the beginning of an emotional collapse where guilt becomes overwhelming. Crushed by the weight of his actions, the protagonist seeks refuge in alcohol and addiction, spiralling into a self-destructive cycle that leads to depression and ultimately suicide. Yet even this final act offers no redemption: he realizes that nothing will erase the harm he has caused. Within the album’s broader narrative, Flask N’ Bone introduces a deeply personal reflection on the abuse of power and the failure to leave behind anything meaningful. The very title “Flask and Bone” becomes a symbol of the emptiness he leaves behind: no values, no legacy, just the physical remains of a life marked by moral decay”.
