Eternal Helcaraxe are set to release their third studio album Drown in Ash on 30/09/22, and their first new material since their absolute masterpiece In Times Of Desperation dropped on the final days of 2017.
So, does this album stand up to the previously mentioned In Times of Desperation? Yes, it most certainly does! It’s another absolute masterclass from this band yet again.
As no track listing has been revealed ahead of the album’s release outside the single Where Dead Things Roam Free, I’ll keep it fairly simple. This album has six tracks that are all part of the greater plan aka a concept/body of work. It starts off slowly and builds throughout with many dynamics and even a keys only track that may catch people off at first. Then you think it’s all part of the dark/depressive tone and feeling of this album and fits perfectly.
I’m on my fifth listen of this album as of this writing and it honestly gets better every time, and I was seriously impressed the first time! The dual vocals are excellent and it’s a real grower. In my opinion, definitely an Irish album of the year contender without question! It has everything a great album should have and more!
Check out their previously released single Where Dead Things Roam Free here. It’s one of the best tracks on the album but that’s not to say it is the best. They’re all great and offer something slightly different as I previously mentioned this is a body of work and not a bunch of singles thrown together.
10/10 all day long! Another masterpiece from this truly great band!
On their third studio album ‘Drown In Ash’, Eternal Helcaraxe aim to describe the dark and emotive battle with depression, feelings of desolate bleakness and loss.
