NEWS: Drouth speak of false prophecy!
Much to our surprise, the long awaited follow up to 2020’s “Excerpts From a Dread Liturgy” by Blackened Death Speed Metal powerhouse Drouth has been announced for a 16th May arrival via Eternal Warfare Records. A forty minute affair spanning just five vicious cuts, it was recorded and mixed with legendary engineer Billy Anderson (Neurosis, Cattle Decapitation) and mastered by Justin Weis (Agalloch, Hammers of Misfortune). “False Grail” is now streaming alongside the cover artwork. You’ve been warned.
The band comment: “We are proud to present The Teeth of Time, a culmination of several years of blood, sweat and pain. It is a nightmare made manifest, and we are both eager to share our creative work and grateful to the many people who helped make it possible.”
Bassist Matt Solis: “‘False Grail’ is actually the last song we wrote before heading to the studio to record the album. It came together relatively quickly based on ideas that Stikker brought in—he had it pretty well fleshed out, but we made some arrangement adjustments together and expanded the closing doom section to really emphasize the dynamic shift in the song. We also knew we wanted string accompaniment in that section, so we had Eva Vonne from Isenordal add layers of mournful viola after the initial tracking was completed.”
Vocalist and guitarist Matt Stikker: “Lyrically, the song is a nightmare reflecting the disconnect between the true and projected self and the increasing tension between those poles that we’re all experiencing. The map is not the territory, but when the map prefigures and gradually dictates the territory, our agency is threatened forever.”
