Thulcandra, the band fronted by Obscura's Steffen Kummerer, will release their new record Hail The Abyss on May 19 and is now streaming the single "As I Walk Through The Gateway."
"'As I Walk Through The Gateway' turned into a catchy, relentless and melodic exercise of black & death metal that blends the strengths of the band in a unique form. Catch the band on their first North American tour alongside Fleshgod Apocalypse, Obscura and Wolfheart to feel the blistering power behind this composition in a live setting."
Hail The Abyss was produced by Dan Swanö (Dissection, Opeth, Katatonia) and features a cover by Lochner.
"With Hail The Abyss, we just count the 5th album within 20 years of Thulcandra," Kummerer continues. "A banger, and a diverse record that shows a unique blend of black and death metal, combined with classic heavy metal twin guitars. The album turned out excellent and Dan Swanö delivered a splendid mix – raw, natural and showcasing each individual musician on the record. Hail The Abyss undoubtedly turned into a highlight of our long lasting career."
