Visit here to pre-order.Marking their first record since 2023’s ‘Land Of The Sleeper’, the members have looked to capture a more hostile, brazen approach on the forthcoming LP – inspired partly by the electric live shows they have been playing over the past two years.Today (January 23), the band have shared a preview of the album in the form of the doom-inspired single ‘Stitches’.Kicking in with a wall of doom-inspired guitars, the track arrives alongside a captivating, unconventional music video directed by Faircloth.

It depicts the members being mutilated by fauna in a nightmarish alternate reality. Check it out below.“I’m aware our band sits in a world largely commandeered by bravado, confidence and machoism,” began frontman Matt Baty, describing the inspiration for the track. “But ‘Stitches’ is an expression of vulnerability, paradoxical emotions and those so familiar pangs of anxiety I wrestle with while butting heads with societal expectations and personal struggles.”As for the album as a whole, the sound captured is set to feel like a “slap in the face”, according to producer and guitarist Sam Grant.

It is also set to replicate the raw, unfiltered energy that the members capture while on stage.“The result is a diversely punishing record that shape-shifts through Sabbathian doom, grotesquely minimalist noise rock and cyclical post-metal fortissimos,” reads a press description of the LP. “As for the words, they emerged from a bout of anxiety which derailed Matt Baty’s self-confidence to the extent that he wondered whether he’d be able to write any lyrics again.”As well as ‘Stitches’, the upcoming LP is also set to include the previously-announced single ‘Detroit’.Shared last November, the frontman described the lead.
