UK Epic Metal Duo LETHEAN have premiered forthcoming album The Waters of Death. Stream it at lethean-uk.bandcamp.com/
To be released on November 9, The Waters Of Death
is an epic doom monolith that will appeal to fans of the genre,
especially those into Solstice or Atlantean Kodex's atmospheres. Accompanied by atmospheric cover art courtesy of German artist Stefan Bleyl, The Waters of Death
is an album that details themes of decline, departure and the passage
of time, reinforced by diverse imagery drawn from mythology, literature
and the elements. Ambitious in scope and rich in the fundamental traits
of epic heavy metal, The Waters of Death firmly places LETHEAN into their own category where class, intelligence and a taste for the bold reign supreme.
The Waters Of Death will be released on compact disc, vinyl and digital formats. Visit the links below to pre-order the album.
Compact Disc:
LP (limited 400 copies, black vinyl, includes insert & download card):
The album is the first product of
the fledgling Seven Gates recording studio in Gothenburg, Sweden, with
Jamie Elton (ex-AMULET) in the producer's chair. Recorded in the age-old
tradition with microphones in front of loud Marshalls and given an
analogue mastering by Jaime Gomez (ANGEL WITCH, PARADISE LOST) of Orgone
Studios, London, The Waters Of Death has a traditional tone that sets it apart from highly-polished contemporary metal.
"With 'The Waters of Death' Lethean delivers the epic metal debut of the year!" [10/10]
- Hellfire Magazin
"Fans of
epic heavy metal take note- anyone into the stuff should be into this,
and I'm sure plenty of others would as well if they have any passing
interest in heavy metal."
- Toilet ov Hell
BIO
Formed in Essex in late 2012, LETHEAN's
stated purpose was to combine epic metal, NWOBHM and doom, along with
the lyrical ethos of mortality and time, leveraging imagery from
mythology, history and literature. The band's 2013 debut two-song demo
caught the attention of Greek duo Giannis Alexandrakis (WRATHBLADE) and
Michalis Bakoulas (CONVIXION) who helped LETHEAN re-record
the songs at an Athens studio. However, it was not until the early 2017
addition of vocalist and co-writer Thumri Paavana that LETHEAN started to gain creative traction, sparking the creation of The Waters Of Death.
