Ashbringer Deliver Ethereal Melodies on "Rain," Accompanied by an Avante-Garde Video (Video Premiere)

Minneapolis atmospheric black metal act Ashbringer return with a new song for their yet-to-be-announced new album to be released later this year on Translation Loss Records. “Rain” starts off chaotically and ends up as a great combination of disorder and tranquility, as evidenced by the split between the herculean Barney Greenway-styled gruff vocals and the ethereal cleans. The balance works well within the confines of the track’s three-minute length, as you get plenty of both while feeling satisfied by track’s end. If you like variety with your heavy, you’ll appreciate the dichotomy all the more.

The video is shot in black and white with multiple pans and angles of the band as they create a sonic maelstrom that is all their own, their nature themes reaching out through the screen to grab the listener and take hold over and over again. Have a watch of their very first video below, and keep an eye out for the new record later this year.

Drummer Andy Meyer, who also helped direct and work on the cinematography for the video, had this to say regarding the upcoming album.

We’ve spent the last year working on something we think is very special, and we are excited to share it with you as things continue to unfold, starting with this video and our forthcoming tour, culminating with our new partnership with Translation Loss and our upcoming fourth LP.

Starting in 2022 we have been developing our fourth studio record to be released later this year in collaboration with Translation Loss. As we continue finalizing the record, we are excited to release our first ever music video, as well as hit the road with Dawn of Ouroboros in the next few weeks.
