ANAGNORISIS: Kentucky Black Metal Unit Announces New LP And US Tour Details Video Trailer From Album Released

Louisville’s black metal horde ANAGNORISIS is preparing for the scorching Summer unleashing of its first new full-length since 2007’s Overton Trees, as their massive sophomore LP Beyond All Light nears release. With the final strokes now placed on their newest masterwork, today the band proudly discloses the official street date for the album as well as the public’s first exposure to its’ iniquitous compositions.

Thunderously capturing ANAGNORISIS’ most expansive material to date, Beyond All Light, was meticulously recorded by the band and mixed by guitarist Zak Denham and his One by One Studios, and then mastered by Brian Lueken at Decibel Mastering. The two-part LP is broken into two segments, each act featuring three massive songs overall encompassing nearly fifty minutes. The band’s already classically-influenced but forward-thinking approach to black metal ventures into new territories, and while skeletal elements of their earlier material shrouds the material, more orchestral and atmospheric elements penetrate the band’s wickedest, blazing attacks ever. While comparisons to notable bands like Nachtmystium, Emperor, Summoning and Drudkh can be made, ANAGNORISIS weave their own unique visions and configurations into their songcraft, creating a wholly engaging, epic atmosphere.

ANAGNORISIS will release Beyond All Light independently in a variety of configurations, the first wave to hit on July 23rd as they drop the album digitally and on CD. Additionally, several weeks subsequent to the initial release, both cassette and LP formats will be released.

Just days after the CD/digital versions of the album hit the streets, so will ANAGNORISIS, on their first wave of touring in support in support of Beyond All Light. The tour kicks off July 27th at their hometown Louisville Deathfest, with attacks in Westland, Rochester, Brooklyn, Boston, Pittsburgh and Indianapolis to follow, the band sharing the stage with Enfold Darkness, Desekrator, Anicon, Primitive Man, Reproacher and more along the way. More tour dates will be announced in the coming weeks.

ANAGNORISIS: Midwest Black Metal Sect Completes New LP For Summer Release

Louisville, Kentucky-based black metal perpetrators ANAGNORISIS have completed the recording of their second LP, the beast now in the final stages of preparation before being cast upon the populous this Summer.

Based on a Greek phrase for “discovery,” ANAGNORISIS was founded in 2003 by Austin Lunn (Panopticon), and the act set out to experiment with merging symphonic and death-infused black metal styles. They recorded the debut album Overton Trees and released it in 2007, the album instantly gaining the band a widespread following beyond the local sector, to which they tormented with live attacks. Lunn moved on and several other lineup changes took shape over the following years since, with the band releasing two EP’s released in the interim – 2009’s Alpha & Omega, and 2012’s Ghosts Of Our Fathers – with each new incarnation and new recording showing new innovations and expansions on their thesis, and their blackened metal continually taking the form of something more insidious.

Their first full-length since 2007, ANAGNORISIS now confirm the title of the new opus as Beyond All Light, the album containing the band’s most expansive material to date, following months of production as the band recorded everything themselves at guitarist Zak Denham’s own One by One Studios. Now completely harnessed, the masters have been passed to Ken Sorceron (Abigail Williams) who is currently handling mixing and mastering duties. The band will unleash Beyond All Light on their own in a plethora of configurations, including CD, LP, cassette and digital formats. Confirmed release dates will be announced in the coming days.

Additionally, ANAGNORISIS will take their terror back to the highways coinciding with the release of Beyond All Light, with a tour from late July through mid-August in the devising stages.

Stay tuned; more tour dates and info on Beyond All Light will be confirmed in the coming days.
