LYCHGATE unleashed "ALSO SPRACH FUTURA" (EP), 3/13/2020 via DEBEMUR MORTI PRODUCTIONS.
FROM DEBEMUR MORTI PRODUCTIONS:
UK Avantgarde Black/Death Metal luminaries Lychgate return on December 19th with a stunning 4th album. "Precipice" is progressive Extreme Metal plummeting inside a black hole: scorching, twisted and transfixing.
Mixing & mastering: Greg Chandler at Priory Studios
Cover artwork: Nadiia Skidan
As an initiation into this mind-manglingly intense work, LYCHGATE unveil a key piece as first song. 'Hive of Parasites' delivers an unsettling blend of grandeur and decay, conceptually based on E.M. Forster's "The Machine Stops" (1909).
