After a nigh on seven year recording silence
ASTRIAAL are now poised to return with their sophomore album entitled
?Anatomy of the Infinite?. This next opus will be released
August 5th, 2010 in Digipack format for the southern equatorial territories via Australian label
Obsidian Records, and through French label
Aura Mystique with alternate artwork for the rest of the world.
?Anatomy of the Infinite? along with the previous opus
'Renascent Misanthropy' will also be given a long awaited vinyl release via German underground supremacists
Art of Propaganda in later 2010 early 2011.
'Anatomy of the Infinite' is strikingly different to the band's debut full length
?Renascent Misanthropy? in production, tone and song structure and resonates with a primeval, organic musicality throughout. After tracking the new album at various studios throughout Australia,
ASTRIAAL travelled to
Molla Lydstudios (Ulver, Aura Noir, Mayhem, Arcturus, etc) in Gjerstad, Norway to finalise the album with Knut Magne Valle (Arcturus) behind the engineers desk. Knut has previously engineered a number of significant albums from the Norwegian metal scene including
Mayhem?s latest album ?Ordo Ad Chao?.
Featuring eight tracks comprising of haunting and dissonant passages interwoven with moments of epic black metal grandeur,
?Anatomy of the Infinite? will indeed satiate the needs of those ardent adherents that have been anticipating the next chapter in the
ASTRIAAL sonic landscape. The reprisal looms?
