Official press release:
Louisville, Kentucky-based black metal sect, Anagnorisis, this week announces the title and additional info on their anxiously anticipated new LP, which is being completed for Fall release. Having recently completed the drum tracking, a brief trailer from the sessions at the mammoth The Tracking Room Studios has been issued.
Further delving into ancient Greek texts for inspiration, the new Anagnorisis record bears the title Peripeteia. While the bulk of the recording for Peripeteia was engineered by guitarist Zak Denham at his home studio where Anagnorisis recorded their acclaimed Beyond All Light LP, newly recruited drummer Cody McCoy (Černá, Boreworm) recently tracked drums for the record at the massive The Tracking Room Studios in Nashville (Megadeth, Deep Purple, King Crimson, Taylor Swift), the complex attack now documented in a new video trailer.
Issues Anagnorisis on the concept of the new album:
“Peripeteia is a story over thirty years in the making; a tale not just based on our vocalist Zachary Kerr‘s life… it is his life. We choose the title to complete the cycle, both literally and figuratively, on our narrative started on Beyond All Light, and to reference our namesake, the concept of anagnorisis. Peripeteia is the reversal, the turning point, the moment immediately preceding the crucial discovery (anagnorisis). We’ve taken all of the hope, fear, loss, joy, anger and turned it into fifty-four minutes of music that we are excited to share with all of you this Autumn.”
