Metal Anarchy

Hecate Enthroned have premiered a new song titled “Gallery Of Rotting Portraits.” You can check that out below. The track is from the band’s new album, “The Corpse Of A Titan, A Lament Long Buried,” which will be released on May 29.

Bassist Dylan Hughes commented on the song:

“The single takes its name from the morbid preservation of the peat bogs, where bodies like the Lindow Man have rested for centuries. ‘A Gallery Of Rotting Portraits’ uses these ‘pagan sacrifices’ as a metaphor for obsolete devotion. It captures the jarring disconnect of unearthing a ritualized past only to find it stripped of its power. The song confronts the cold reality that while the bodies remain, the spirits and superstitions that put them there have long since rotted away, leaving us in a world devoid of its ancient magic.”

He also added the following about the album:

“Our first release since 2019, these are huge, epic, hard-hitting songs carved in the traditional Hecate Enthroned way with a menacing veil delivered with a crisp punch. Lyrically based around ancient British myths and legends.”
