Death metallers Gruesome will have their first new album in seven years, “Silent Echoes“, out on June 06th via Relapse Records. A music video directed by The C.O.I.N. for the track “A Darkened Window” arrived online today to usher in this next chapter for the band, with the group themselves having the following to say about it:
“‘A Darkened Window‘ was the perfect song to pair with the visuals of The C.O.I.N., who captured the existential despair of lyrics perfectly – a vision of modern existence where every human emotion can be commoditized and therefore must be groomed, filtered and corrected into something synthetic and horrifying.”
“Silent Echoes” serves as a tribute to the works of the late Sean Reinert, who was known for his time behind the drum kit for Death and Cynic. Reinert was originally intended to produce this album, having been a longtime friend and mentor of Gruesome drummer Gus Rios.
As such, the snare drum that Reinert used on Cynic‘s “Focus” was used during the recording sessions for this album, which was once again overseen by Jarrett Pritchard.
