Helsinki’s doom-metal merchants Altar of Betelgeuze today unveil the title track of their third album “Echoes”, which is set to be released on March 22nd on Wiseblood Records.
“Echoes” has premiered at Invisible Oranges, who commented “Echoes is a consistently enjoyable jam that blends inventive, iconic riffs with a passion for slow, overbearing doom metal.”
The band had this to say about the new single: “We’re proud to reveal the second single and the title track of Echoes. It features massive riffs combined with hard hitting drums and big growls and the lyrics tell a tale of destruction. Being the longest and overall slowest track, it offers a unique perspective to the material on the album, and by that we mean total doom!”
The band’s first material since their critically acclaimed second full-length “Among the Ruins” released by Transcending Obscurity in 2017, “Echoes” sees Altar of Betelgeuze further refining their tight blend of deathly doom and traditional doom, yet this time there’s a clear focus on more swampy and gloomy tones in detriment of the stoner-rock vibe explored on its predecessor.
