The New York City post-metal act SO HIDEOUS has teamed up with Mass Appeal to premiere “Relinquish,” a new track from their forthcoming sophomore album “Laurestine.” Stream the new song now at this link:https://massappeal.com/premiere-so-hideous-relinquish/
On the stunning “Laurestine,” SO HIDEOUS delves deeper into the orchestral sound pioneered on their 2013 debut “Last Poem/First Light.” Like the debut, “Laurestine” was recorded with an actual orchestra, consisting of 30 members this time around – brass, strings and a choir. The interplay of these elements with the band’s heavy foundation results in something thrilling, as “Laurestine” is a cinematic ride that rises and falls like a film score, from gentle lulls to raging, blackened metal.
A concept album that tells the story of a man’s journey into an afterlife, “Laurestine” was recorded and mixed by Dean Baltulonis (Lucero, Sick of It All) at The Wild Arctic Studio, with the orchestral tracks recorded by Chris Montgomery (Mumford and Sons, Lily Allen).
