Prosthetic Records is thrilled to announce the signing of Chicago’s Snow Burial. The doomy three-piece will release their second full length album – titled Ostrava – on September 20. The first teaser of music from the LP can be heard below – and pre-orders are now available HERE.

Of the signing, Snow Burial’s Ben Bowman comments:

“We are so excited to team up with Prosthetic Records and release Ostrava on their label. This album means the world to us and to be able to work with this team is a dream come true. Joining a label with so many friends and bands we love makes it all the better.”

Snow Burial will celebrate their signing to the label by hitting the road this week with Aseethe. The two bands released a split EP together last year and their dual pronged trail of audio destruction kicks off this Thursday. Full dates are below.

Recorded in early 2019 at Electrical Audio, Chicago with Shane Hochstetler at the helm, Ostrava maps where life’s beauty and terror collide. Born from their defining experiences at home and on the road the unifying theme of Ostrava is one of duality – failure and triumph, celebration and mourning, isolation and family. Taking inspiration from the likes of Radiohead as much as any metal act; Snow Burial craft polished songs with the whirring machinery hidden just below the surface. Their blend of melody and aggression delivers a sound that dredges the depths of doom and sludge and marries it with rock ‘n’ roll sensibilities.

Ostrava track listing:

“Tyranny”
“Sever The Bloodline”
“The Afterneath”
“Třinec”
“Ostrava”
“Gaping Wounds”
