Madison, Wisconsin-based apocalyptic blackened metal collective TRAGIC DEATH has unveiled the cassette edition of their scathing Born Of Dying Embers EP.
Boasting three fiery tracks of haunting, blackened, cataclysmal death, the EP — released digitally October 25th — was recorded at their own Gateway Studios, mixed by TRAGIC DEATH drummer Cody Stein, mastered by Adam Tucker (False, Thou, Void Omnia, Ulthar) at Signaturetone Recordings in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and features the ominous cover art of J. Nihil of Nightside Reflections. Wielding a chaotic amalgam of black metal, thrash, and death metal doused in haze of unsettling synth work, TRAGIC DEATH‘s output is at once harrowing and transcendental.
Born Of Dying Embers is available on cassette and digitally at the TRAGIC DEATH Bandcamp page at THIS LOCATION where the EP can be streamed in full.
Preferring to tread purposely in the face of opposition, TRAGIC DEATH is a band that has drifted from multiple soundscapes while remaining steadfast in their vision of crafting music that carries a sound and atmosphere of the dreadful and inevitable end of civilization. Releasing their debut, Apocalyptic Metal, in 2012, the band adopted a style reminiscent of the Gothenburg metal scene before upping the ante with the sinister blackened aura for 2014’s split with California-based Fiends At Feast, Purgatory Rites. Five years later, the band travels further down their chaotic path with Born Of Dying Embers.
