Next Friday (January 25th), the UK-based Symphonic Blackened Death Metal group HECATE ENTHRONED will release “Embrace Of The Godless Aeon”, their first album in five years (and their debut for new label partner M-Theory Audio). Today, the group unveils the second taste of the horrors that await - “Revelations In Autumn Flame”, which is now available on all streaming platforms. A music video for the song can be seen HERE. Portions of the clip were shot during the group's recent performance at the Tabernacl Chapel in Llandundo, North Wales, which bassist Dylan Hughes says provided an epic setting in which to film:
“Where better to shoot this video than in a chapel during a dark cold December in North Wales?” he says. “The show was set up on the pulpit in front of pews filled with a congregation of Metal-fuelled blasphemers, their breath visible in the cold, dank air. The atmosphere created the malevolent and darkly energetic performance caught in the video, recorded by our good friend Dan Cookson and edited by Jeff Grindstopher of Grindstopher Productions. Watch closely throughout for the ongoing threat from the enveloping icy embrace of Cthulhu”.
According to Hughes:
““Revelations In Autumn Flame” was written “about modern religious fundamentalism being a reaction to a rise of secularism, and a rise in people being more educated about the universe and abandoning belief in God because of it. It’s about theistic religion being almost in its death throes and becoming more extreme because of it, but a more enlightened mankind will come through this and ‘rise like a phoenix from the flames”.
“Embrace Of The Godless Aeon” - which features cover artwork by Nestor Avalos (BLOODBATH, ROTTING CHRIST, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER), as seen above – can be pre-ordered now on CD and red splatter vinyl HERE. A limited-edition deluxe box set that features a digipak CD of the new album plus the exclusive purple vinyl and cassette editions of the album, a signed photo card and other collectibles including a coaster/bottle opener, a poster, a woven logo patch, two stickers, pin and a different tarot card unique to each box is also available. Digital pre-orders on Bandcamp and other platforms include “Revelations In Autumn Flame” and “Temples That Breathe” as instant downloads.
