Al enige dagen krijg ik de nieuwe single van Drown In Sulphur niet uit mijn hoofd. De gloednieuwe single New Moon Rising On Florence heeft namelijk alles wat deze Italiaans deathcorezwaargewichten maar kan bieden.
De single is afkomstig van de EP Strix die op 11 september zal uitkomen via Noble Demon.
“With ‘New Moon Rising On Florence’, we wanted to capture a sound that is entirely authentic and recognizable to the Drown In Sulphur name,” zegt Drown In Sulphur. “Following our recent lineup changes, we entered a period of deep reflection. We knew we needed a change, a return to something rawer and more grounded in our origins, yet adapted for the modern era. We stripped back the symphonic layers to let the pure, unfiltered aggression take over. The result is a track that feels incredibly organic and devastating.”
Ze gaan verder: “Thematically, this song and the wider EP dive deep into esoteric, biblical, and dystopian contexts, heavily intertwining Masonic references. It all revolves around the mythological figure of the ‘Strix’, the ancient nocturnal bird of ill omen. Florence becomes the backdrop for this dark ritual, signaling a new, rebellious vision of the world where ancient horrors resurface in modern times.”
Noble Demon op zijn beurt is enorm blij met de samenwerking met de band. CEO Patrick Walch zegt erover:
“I’ve been following this band for quite a while since personally I adore Deathcore and DROWN IN SULPHUR’s sound is outstanding. Intense and unique, right in your face and the right match for everyone who digs Death Metal, Metalcore, Modern Metal and anything in between. Check out their impressive catalog and watch out for our legendary and practical pre-save links since new music is already around the corner.“
