Following a pair of singles, deathcore group Crown Magnetar have now formally announced their new studio album The Hollowing of Godflesh. The effort is due out on September 25th through Unique Leader Records. Digital pre-orders are available via a number of digital outlets here. Meanwhile, physical pre-orders can be secured via IndieMerchstore, MerchCare, and Bandcamp (CD/digital). Speaking of the effort, singer Dan Tucker commented:
The Hollowing of Godflesh is the most complete representation of Crown Magnetar we’ve ever put together. We pushed every aspect of our songwriting further without losing the intensity and rawness that defines the band. We wanted to take what people expect from us and push it further by adding more atmosphere, bigger moments, and even more aggression without sacrificing anything. You’ll hear it in the insane riffing of new guitarist Rob Maramonte, who has spent time as a member of Fallujah and The Zenith Passage, as well as performed live with Thy Art Is Murder and All Shall Perish.
The Hollowing of Godflesh is a highly sharpened version of Crown Magnetar. It delivers unrelenting brutality and is sure to please old and new fans alike.
Additionally, the group have released a video for a brand new single titled “Godkiller”. The clip was filmed by Heath Thompson and edited by Dylan Gould. Of the track, Tucker added:
“‘Godkiller’ is all gas. It’s basically the equivalent of driving a bulldozer into Hell. Still very Crown Magnetar, but focused through a death metal intensity and a great tone-setting track to introduce our new record, The Hollowing Of Godflesh.”
