Official press release:
One-man blackened doom metal assault, Total Negation, will unleash third full-length, Zeitzeuge, this May via Sweden-based Temple Of Torturous Records.
The follow-up to the 2013-issued Zur Späten Stunde | Zeiträume, which The Liar Of Filth fittingly dubbed a, “dark and challenging, yet ultimately very rewarding listening,” Zeitzeuge maintains the cold, eerie elements of its predecessor. The integration of instruments like the melodica and the vibraphone still intact, on Zeitzeuge master craftsman, Wiedergaenger, allows for more breathing room and breadth in his compositions. Still cold, depressive and atmospherically corrosive, Wiedergaenger manages to merge primal black metal, doom and Krautrock elements into a sound that’s at once lush, confounding, and apocalyptic. Cold, dire, twisted, and bedecked in Wiedergaenger’s intense German storytelling, Zeitzeuge relays the story of a contemporary witness, who breaks under the pressure of controlling the life and death of others.
Zeitzeuge will be released digitally and on vinyl via Temple Of Torturous on June 16th, 2015 with track teasers and preorders to be unveiled soon. Until then, weep.
