Vale Of Pnath is back! The band – whose lineup is currently vocalist Ken Sorceron (Abigail Williams, ex-The Faceless), guitarist Vance Valenzuela (Abigail Williams, ex-Flub), bassist Austin Rolla (Anthrocide), and drummer Gabe Seeber (Abigail Williams, Divine Heresy, The Kennedy Veil) – will release their new album Between The Worlds Of Life And Death on May 24 via Willowtip Records, and we're premiering the debut single "The Burning Light" right now.
"It's been 5 years since our last release, Accursed. The EP really was a new avenue for the band as we leaned further toward a more blackened approach stylistically," said Vale Of Pnath of their new music. "Having more of a tech death background, this EP was a way to lead our fans into the next era.
"Between The Worlds Of Life And Death is an album that really is just a continuation of what we started with Accursed. It captures the band's core sound, but also brings a newer and bold take on this brand of metal. We want this to be the most approachable album we have made for metal fans. We want people to put this on and be sucked in immediately, yet keep coming back for more."
Between The Worlds Of Life And Death features guest solos from Michael Wilson on "No Return, No Regret", Donny Burbage (Cradle Of Filth, Aether Realm) on "Shadow" and "Soul Offering", Miles Dimitri Baker (Interloper) on "Beneath Ashen Skies", Christian Muenzner (ex-Necrophagist, ex-Obscura, Alkaloid) on "Uncertain Tomorrow", and Matthew Brown (Demon King) on "Shadow". Between The Worlds Of Life And Death also features compositions by Wayne Ingram (Wilderun) on "The Forgotten Path" and "Echoes Of The Past", as well as cello by Christopher Edward Brown.
