 FROM GODTHRYMM:

The new Godthrymm album Projections will be released on May 29. Check out the video for the LP's first single "Truth In My Own". The video was shot and edited by Ash Pears. Projections is now available for pre-order.

FROM PROFOUND LORE RECORDS: 

 

The new Godthrymm album Projections has been announced and set for release on May 29. Pre-orders and video for “Truth In My Own” now live. Record release show going down June 6th @ Brudenell Social Club in Leeds, tickets and vinyl (limited exclusive UK gold vinyl)l/CD bundles now available through Crash Records. Exclusive metallic gold vinyl variant limited to 100 units only available through UK retailers and also available for pre-order here: https://linktr.ee/godthrymm
During the band’s discourse since the release of their Reflections debut LP Godthrymm have been recognized as the new emerging band from the UK to bring back the glorious aura of early-mid ‘90s UK doom metal. As expected, considering Godthrymm was formed and is helmed by UK doom metal veteran Hamish Glencross (ex-My Dying Bride/Vallenfyre/Solstice) and features doom metal drummer extraordinaire Shaun Taylor-Steels (ex-My Dying Bride/Anathema). So in this sense, the classic UK doom metal DNA has already been implemented within the sonic fabric of Godthrymm.
Projections sees Godthrymm continue to develop and broaden their sound even further, and building upon the cornerstones of Distortions. Now with an expanded lineup which includes keyboardist co-vocalist Catherine Glencross, bassist Bob Crolla and new second guitarist Kris McLaughin, Projections is GODTHRYMM’s most layered, varied and complex release yet, all while still upholding the colossal emotionally charged heavy doom backbone that has defined the core of the band’s sound.
Projections features guest appearances by Aaron Stainthorpe (High Parasite/ex-My Dying Bride), original English Dogs vocalist Adie Bailey, and Xentrix vocalist Jay Walsh. Cover art was done by Mitchell Nolte.
Track listing:
1. Trenches Deep
2. Truth In My Own
3. The Sun Never Fell
4. Endure My Skin (feat. Aaron Stainthorpe)
5. Jewels
6. Hope Is Eternal
