GODTHRYMM – Announce New Album “Distortions”
British epic doom metallers GODTHRYMM (featuring members once involved in such luminaries as My Dying Bride, Anathema, Vallenfyre, and Solstice) return with their new album, “Distortions” set for release on Aug 18th. Pre-orders now live HERE. Listen to the new single “Echoes” below. The follow-up to 2020’s widely-lauded “Reflections” shows the Halifax-based quartet of Hamish Glencross (guitars/vocals), Catherine Glencross (keyboards/vocals), “Sasquatch” Bob Crolla (bass), and Shaun “Winter” Taylor-Steels (drums) elegantly expanding upon their sound and vision.
Throughout its seven-track, hour-long expanse, GODTHRYMM’s sophomore effort delves deeper into their despondent march as Glencross’ emotionally-charged vocals pair perfectly with his towering riffs and thoughtful, crestfallen harmonies. The rhythmic foundation of Crolla and Taylor-Steels is absolutely critical to Glencross’ woebegone éclat along with Catherine Glencross’ angelic vocals and atmospheric keyboards stitched into the monumental “As Titans,” the granite-hard “Obsess and Regress,” and the stirring closer “Pictures Remain.”
For an album centered lyrically on grief, loss, regret, resolve, love, and determination, it’s hard to imagine something inexplicably heavy yet remarkably beautiful, GODTHRYMM having repositioned England as the epicenter of high-quality, epic-sounding doom metal.
