Following their 2024 release <em>Sisyphean Cruelty<\/em>, the Massachusetts-based band return with their latest album, <em>Let Us Not Speak Of Them But Look And Pass On<\/em>, arriving February 20, 2026, via Redscroll Records.<\/p>\n<p>Recorded and mixed by <strong>Seth Manchester<\/strong> at Machines with Magnets, the album spans four tracks and 28 minutes, delivering a relentless journey through anguished vocals, punishing riffs, and towering percussion. Improvised passages set a tone that swings between haunting and uneasy, keeping listeners in a constant state of tension.<\/p>\n<p>The album&#8217;s first single, &#8220;An Adornment of Light,&#8221; drops today, offering a seven-minute masterclass in the band&#8217;s crushing aesthetic. Built on themes of revenge, the track evolves from feedback-laden atmospherics and clashing cymbals into guttural vocals and deep-seated guitar work. It&#8217;s miserable and really fits the overall mood of\u2026 everything right now.<\/p>\n<p>Pre-orders for <em>Let Us Not Speak Of Them But Look And Pass On<\/em> right here.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zox-post-body left zoxrel zox100\"><strong>Want More Metal?
