NEWS: Messier 16 chase the bad tidings…

Norwegian Progressive Metal act Messier 16 have unveiled “Gloom-Chaser” as a second preview of their upcoming album “Shouts from the Cliffs of Heterodoxy” ahead of its 23rd October via Time To Kill Records release date. Described by the band as an hourlong descent into the fractured landscapes of delusion, the promise is of something combining the precision and velocity of Technical Black Metal, the earthbound weight of Doom, the ethereal scope of Post-Metal and the stark beauty of choral arrangements…

The band comments: “‘Gloom Chaser’ explores the point where melancholy stops being just an emotion and becomes something we mistake for truth, comfort and even identity. The song unfolds as a dialogue between someone trapped inside that belief and a friend trying to challenge it, asking whether melancholy is something that needs to heal or something we unconsciously choose to hold on to. Musically, we wanted to mirror that tension, moving from urgency and bittersweet energy into darker, more introspective and atmospheric territory“.
