News : Bane Of Winterstorm Release Full Details For New EP
Now just under a month away, Melbourne’s Bane of Winterstorm will be prepping up and readying arms when they take the Evelyn Hotel on September 26 for their much anticipated EP launch for ‘Upon the Throne of Râvnöraak’; part two of The War of Shadows, the musical epic that first began with 2013’s critically acclaimed debut album, ‘The Last Sons of Perylin’.
Having released new details toward the EP, ‘Upon the Throne of Râvnöraak’ will “bridge the gap between The War of Shadows I and III”. The 32-minute long EP was mixed and mastered by Chris Themelco – who doubles as the band’s bassist – at Monolith Studios, and will also feature guest vocals from the likes of Riley Strong (Desecrator) and Anth Nekich (Warbirds).
The gorgeous artwork was created courtesy of Pierre-Alain D of 3mmi Design.
The album will be available for pre-order in standard gatefold CD format, a CD/shirt/poster bundle, and an exclusive ‘Ritualist’ pack (containing the new ‘Upon the Throne’ shirt, signed Upon the Throne of Râvnöraak, Ouija/Logo shirt, Poster and a Hand Drawn Tarot card sealed in wax inside a black envelope). It is available for pre-order now via Bane of Winterstorm’s official website.
“The true kingdom fell in the shadow of the devourer” These are the words that accompany Melbourne symphonic metal supergroup Bane of Winterstorm as they announce the second chapter in the War of Shadows series, an EP titled Upon the Throne of Râvnöraak.
Stepping truly out of the Euro power metal light and into the cold and dark shadows, Bane of Winterstorm continue to hone their sound into something truly unique, without casting away the triumphs of their critically acclaimed debut album, 2013’s The Last Sons of Perylin. The 32 minute EP will bridge the gap between The War of Shadows I and III both sonically and spiritually highlighting their heaviest, darkest and most epic music to date. Mixed and mastered by Chris Themelco at Monolith Studios and featuring guest vocals from Riley Strong of Desecrator and Anth Nekich of Warbirds. Artwork by Pierre-Alain D of 3mmi.org
The album can be pre ordered in a standard gatefold cd, a cd/shirt/poster bundle, and as a Ritualist pack containing an Upon the Throne shirt, signed Upon the Throne CD, Ouija/Logo shirt, Poster and a Hand Drawn Tarot card sealed in wax inside a black envelope.
