Toothgrinder have detailed their upcoming full-length debut album, “Nocturnal Masquerade“. Spinefarm Records have the outing lined up for a January 29th release date. Guitarist Jason Goss said of it:
“With Nocturnal Masquerade, we wanted to capture a spectrum of sound that could bring you to different places in mood and spirit. This being our first full length there was a sense of timelessness that the band was reaching for. These songs are going to make a long-lasting impact in our lives and we can’t wait to share it with our fans.”
Today (October 16th) sees the debut of a new song titled “The House (That Fear Built)” from the effort, which you can hear below via MetalSucks.net. Vocalist Justin Matthews said of this particular cut:
“We choose the opening track ‘The House (That Fear Built)‘ as the first peek into the Nocturnal Masquerade for a few reasons. There is a lot of depth, darkness, diversity, and above all, clarity and resolution. The song foreshadows the intensity and melodic tension the rest of the album seems to exude. The track is a personal favorite of mine because it was the first song on the record where I found my groove and rhythmic capabilities which set the tone vocally and lyrically for the songs to come.”
