Eine Zeitlang war es ruhig um die dänischen Black Metaller BLODARV, jetzt wurden aber Details vom neuen Album "The Illuminating Darkness" bekanntgegeben.Die Stille wird von einem Einblick in "The Illuminating Darkness" unterbrochen, mit "A Dark Trail of Death" bekommt ihr einen ersten Titel zu hören: https://blodarv.bandcamp.com/track/a-dark-trail-of-death
BLODARV kommentieren "A Dark Trail of Death ":
"we are aware that it is usual for band premiering a track from a forthcoming album, to choose either the title track, or a track that "musically represents the entire album". But BLODARV have never been your typical band, nor have we been known to do things the usual way, and this time it's no different. In fact, "A Dark Trail of Death" stands out from the rest of "The Illuminating Darkness" in the sense that it’s the slowest song on the entire album.
"Whilst the rest of the tracks on "The Illuminating Darkness” are much more up-tempo, even compared to previous releases, we chose "A Dark Trail of Death" as a first taste of the upcoming album anyway because, even though it stands out tempo wise, it is still perfect to represent the entire album because it is soaked through with the essence and atmosphere of "The Illuminating Darkness".
" A Dark Trail of Death " wurde in zwei Etappen aufgenommen, das Schlagzeug und die erste Gitarre wurden bereits 2016 bei Anwill-Recordings eingespielt. Der Gesang und die restlichen Instrumente folgten 2018 im HammerArt & Studio in Bornholm.
