Colorado Springs, CO black metal duo Helleborus founded by brothers Jerred & Wyatt Houseman announce they will be unleashing their much anticipated debut album “The Carnal Sabbath” via Satanth Records (Russia) and Black Plague Records (USA) on June 17th, 2016.
The album is a Bacchic frenzy of carnal abandon told through lascivious guitars and tempting bass rhythms along with elements of black, death and doom metal to provide a vast backdrop for an ambiance of potential and possibility. Fans of The Devil’s Blood, Satyricon, Necorphobic, Belphegor, Blut Aus Nord are sure to be seduced by Helleborus.
The duo have already teased fans with three singles “Coils”, “Colored Spores of Yuggoth” and the album title track during 2015 and have posted a teaser video for black metal enthusiasts to get a taste of what's to come.
“This first full length marks an important evolution in our great work and we are pleased to announce in alignment to this years Summer Solstice, "The Carnal Sabbath" will be released. We have joined forces with Satanath & Black Plague to pass this release into the light. With all the anticipation around this album we have finally reached the horizon. More announcements and news are in the works and fall tour plans are in development”, comments Wyatt Houseman.
Tracklist:
1. Helleborus Black (6:51)
2. Coils (5:06)
3. Edge Of Black Waters (6:17)
4. Colored Spores of Yuggoth (5:42)
5. Draconian Discipline (4:40)
6. The Poison of Sleep (5:23)
7. Temple of Seventh Death (4:24)
8. A Gift of Renewal (7:08)
9. The Carnal Sabbath (9:17)
Conceived within the womb of Execration, Helleborus is the latest emanation of Jerred & Wyatt Houseman. Like the enigmatic and deadly winter flower from which the project takes its name, Helleborus pushes the exploration of traditional black metal into the uncharted territory of sensual duality and mysticism. Building on their professional experience with Execration and personal experiences through Akhenaten, the Houseman brothers sought a deeper expression of their experiential-driven musical style that audiences can connect with through a union of opposites.
“We’ve always had a vision for the type of black metal project Helleborus would be. We wanted to explore and deliver a darker and yet more romantic side of black metal. There is an unknown side of metal that is masculine and powerful, yet sensual and respectful; controlled chaos”, comments vocalist Wyatt Houseman.
