U.K. death metal band Ingested will release its new full-length studio album, “The Tide of Death and Fractured Dreams,” on April 5, 2024, via Metal Blade Records. Pre-order the album here.
Produced by the band with the guidance of recording engineer Nico Beninato, the record includes a guest appearance by Chimaira’s Mark Hunter, who provides guest vocals for the track “In Nothingness,” and Sylosis singer Josh Middleton, who contributes to “Expect To Fail,” as well as the cover art of David Seidman.
“’Ashes Lie Still’ was constructed in the COVID period, and the mood of that album definitely reflects that time,” the band said. “With ‘The Tide of Death and Fractured Dreams,’ we wanted to bring the energy up a bit. As much as we like what we did with ‘Ashes …,’ its depressive tone isn’t something we wanted to continue to explore quite as much. There are definitely some dark moments on ‘… Tide …,’ but for the most part, we took a more upbeat approach to the songs this time round.”
In advance of the record’s release, the band has revealed the first single, “Paragon of Purity,” and its accompanying video.
Guitarist Sean Hynes, who wrote the lyrics for this track, said: “It’s about loving what we do, how hard we’ve worked for it, and the support we have from our families back home. Missing them and being on the road is hard, but we couldn’t do it without them.”
