KOSTNATĚNÍ: SET TO UNLEASH "UPAL", POST NEW TRACK "NAUSEA IS ALL I AM"
Minneapolis, Minnesota,U.S.A. black metal warriors KOSTNATĚNÍ have posted "NAUSEA IS ALL I AM", a track from the bands anticipated debut release "UPAL", due to be unleashed 5/26/2023 via WILLOWTIP RECORDS.
FROM WILLOWTIP RECORDS:
Death-obsessed
black metal band KOSTNATĚNÍ has signed with Willowtip Records and will
unleash their sophomore full-length album "Úpal" 26th May!
Úpal
("heatstroke") is a story of the human condition as a function of heat.
The rise of consciousness in warm-blooded creatures has given rise to
impossibly dense, illogical webs of thought that can completely divorce
our lived experience from the physical world around us.
Anxiety,
fixations, and hallucinations can appear without material basis, setting
our overactive neurons on fire. To bring this vivid scene to life,
KOSTNATĚNÍ has become both more meditative and more chaotic, introducing
influences from sources as varied as African folk and noise rock into
its technical black metal basis. Evoking both the searing rays of the
desert sun and the melting of one's sanity, Úpal walks the fine line
between burning up and burning out.
Tracklist (titles in Czech and English)
1. Řemen (The Belt) 2. Hořím navždy (I Burn Forever) 3. Rukojmí empatie (Hostage of Empathy) 4. Opál (Opal) 5. Skrýt se před Bohem (Hide from God) 6. Nevolnost je vše, čím jsem (Nausea Is All I Am) 7. Slunce svázáno s krvácející Zemí (Sun Bound to the Bleeding Earth)
Úpal
was written and recorded from October 2020 to October 2021. Vocals were
recorded in late 2021-early 2022. The drums were mixed and recorded in
the fall of 2022 at The Weeb Dungeon by Andrew Lee. The album was
mastered by Jacob Buczarski.
