Fires in the Distance - Circadian Promise

Atmospheric/Melodic Death Metal from Newington, Connecticut, US

Connecticut-based melodic/melancholic death metal band Fires In The Distance released their album “Circadian Promise” on 12 June via Prosthetic Records. With their third album, the band has taken their melancholic, synth-heavy style to new, cathartic heights. “Circadian Promise” is virtuosic yet visceral, progressive but always authentic, and confirms Fires In The Distance as a rising force in the genre. Founding guitarist and songwriter Yegor Savonin said: “Our music springs from raw emotions. Each new album depicts a different experience and phase of life, with the sound and atmosphere evolving accordingly.” With new singer and guitarist Brendan Hayter, the album is undoubtedly Fires In The Distance’s darkest and most comprehensive to date – thoroughly captivating and without a single filler track, even though some of the six tracks run to over nine minutes.

1. Of Radiance and Levitation 09:27 2. To You, Author of My Fade 09:03 3. Lightless Days of a Songless Bird 08:49 4. By This Time Tomorrow 05:05 5. Once the Silence Takes Your Place 08:59 6. Agonal Dreaming 07:57

Where Deprivation Lies - The Seven Agonies

Technical Death Metal from Blackpool, England, UK

The second album from UK death metallers, Where Deprivation Lies. A crushing blend of technical riffs, blast beats and demonic vocals created to immerse the audience in a miasma of brutality. The Seven Agonies is a descent through seven stages of human ruin — each track embodying a different torment carved into flesh, spirit, and memory. Exploring themes of loss, war and addiction, The Seven Agonies is an album about the transformation pain forces upon the soul: suffering not as punishment, but as evolution.
