Sulphur Seas to release debut album 'Suzanne' in January 2018

This winter will mark the release of the debut album by Sulphur Seas, a duet consisting of the union of two tormented minds: J. (lyrics) and A. (compositions). Entitled 'Suzanne', it has been self-recorded in their basement, excepting the vocals tracks recorded at California Studios (Madrid). Mixed by Victor Saiz Martinez, the album counts on the help of several external contributors, as a guest vocal appearance by J. Virulency (Virulency, Hex) or the nightmarish noises and effects added by M. Novoa (Back To R'lyeh, Proyecto C5, ex-Nüll).

'Suzanne' consists of seven black metal songs that deals with the most sinister aspects of existence: death, diseases, greed and lust. J. comments: "Imagine that you find an open chest, eaten by dampness in a dusty attic. Inside, a few loose pages of the diary written by an unknown traveler. His story, tainted of despair, violence and grief, ironically sounds you very familiar. You did not know this man, but his words create a mirror of our own existence. This is the feeling that we have decided to share with you."

With all lyrics written in French, J's mother tongue, the compositions created by Sulphur Seas can be defined as a mix of a black metal influenced by french literature and estheticism, with tones of death metal and progressive metal. As a duet, each member brings to the other one his own musical background. The result of this teamwork is a bitter, hypnotic and furious multifaceted creation that cannot leave indifferent the French nor Polish black metal enthusiasts.

The album will be self-released in January by J. under the mark of Les Productions Boueuses as a jewel-case with 12 pages booklet. Just before the release of the album, a preview of 'Suzanne' will be unveil.
