  • Hecate Enthroned Release New Song “Gallery Of Rotting Portraits”, Announce New Album

    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.”

    “The Corpse Of A Titan, A Lament Long Buried” Track Listing:

    01. “Adar Rhiannon”
    02. “Spirits Stir Within Our Ancestors Tombs”
    03. “The Arcane Golem”
    04. “Steed Of The Still Water”
    05. “Pwca”
    06. “Deathless In The Dryad Glade”
    07. “A Gallery Of Rotting Portraits”
    08. “The Boreal Monastery”
    09. “Into A Vale Of Endless Snow”

  • The Kinison Announce Pomona, CA Show

    The Kinison will be performing at The Glasshouse in Pomona, CA on May 29. Vocalist Christopher Lewis said the following about the upcoming show:

    “The Glasshouse always felt like our home venue, so it felt fitting to make our return there. We’d sometimes get last-minute calls to fill in after a band dropped off a show or couldn’t make it — we were the house band. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve been on that stage.”
