Godthrymm

Godthrymm release 'The Sea as My Grave' music video; debut album 'Reflections' coming in February

UK doom metal trio Godthrymm - featuring vocalist/guitarist Hamish Glencross (ex-My Dying Bride, Vallenfyre, Solstice), drummer Shaun Taylor-Steels (ex-My Dying Bride, Anathema), and bassist Bob Crolla - is pleased to unveil the official new video for 'The Sea as My Grave'. The forlorn hymn comes off the band's forthcoming debut, 'Reflections', set for release February 14th via Profound Lore, on CD, 2xLP, and digital formats.

The black and white clip features live footage from a Godthrymm performance in Belgium last summer and was pieced together by Carl Assault. Further elaborates Glencross of the track, "Crushing waves of titanic riffs and pounding drums, punctuated with ghostly leads and mournful vocals... lyrically, 'The Sea as My Grave' paints a picture of a broken, tired human giving up their earthly remains to the sea for an eternal rest in the vastness of the oceans. Musically, we believe this song perfectly defines us stylistically as a band and represents us perfectly as musicians."

Track listing:
1. Monsters Lurk Herein (07:37)
2. Among the Exalted (05:06)
3. The Sea as My Grave (06:43)
4. We Are the Dead (06:28)
5. The Light of You (06:49)
6. The Grand Reclamation (07:30)
7. Cursed Are the Many (09:18)
8. Chasmic Sorrows (04:59)

Recorded and mixed by Nathan Bailey and featuring artwork and design by Brian D'Agosta of Gostworks Art (Vallenfyre, War//Plague), with 'Reflections', Godthrymm has unleashed a mammoth slab of heavy, mournful, yet pounding traditional doom that harks back to the classic era of '90s UK doom/Peaceville Records. A massive step up from their debut EP, 'Reflections' is the result of Glencross taking Godthrymm into darker, more melancholic, and towering realms. Through Glencross' soaring, passionate vocals complimenting his powerful riffs along with Taylor-Steels' thunderous percussion giving the rhythm section that immense and glorious tone, 'Reflections' is a testament to the glory days of the genre while simultaneously making its statement as a new force of modern day doom metal to behold.
