Michigan, USA-based blackened death metal act WINTERUS is about to release its Lifeforce Records debut entitled ‘In Carbon Mysticism’. The record, which consists of six studio tracks and three live recordings, was produced and engineered by the band and mastered by Maor Appelbaum. “We wanted a lo-fi, self-produced sound, not polished and strict or hiding behind Pro Tools,” explained vocalist Christopher Erich Neu, “Sonically, it’s a very honest approach. With an honest delivery, including three live tracks, you can feel the passion of ever-maturing musicians that strive for something new and brilliant.” The album will be released on April 26th, 2011 in North America and on May 16th, 2011 in Europe. The video for ‘Harmonious’ was directed by Stephen Richmond. Album's artwork was created by Joshua Davis. Listen to WINTERUS' new track, ‘Eternal Ghost’, at this location (Facebook).
According to a press release, WINTERUS sees the ‘In Carbon Mysticism’ as band's further developing its musical style with a subtle atmospheric edge, drawing influence from such acts as IMMORTAL, ENSLAVED, WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM and NACHTMYSTIUM. The forthcoming album is to combine dark and intense atmospheres, with unbridled attacks of grim and raw attitude dealing with themes of brutal honesty, isolation, philosophy, and real human emotion.
WINTERUS formed in 2009, released a 5-song EP entitled ‘A Frozen Path’ in May, 2010, with it caught the attention of Lifeforce Records which offered the band a multi-album deal.
