Ahead of its release this Friday, TOTENMESSE’s debut album To is now streaming in its entirety. The album is scheduled for a 2 November release via Pagan Records on digital, CD and vinyl and is available for pre-order from the record label’s webstore.
Listen to To below.
TOTENMESSE – meaning ‘requiem’ or ‘mass of the dead’ in German – were formed in 2016, and recorded their first release Demo 2017 a year later. No strangers to extreme metal, the band have honed their craft in groups such as Odraza, MasseMord, Deception and Hell United. This is reflected in their debut album, To, with its majestic, powerful and colossal sound, while the lyrics explore death and how the human mind perceives it. In addition to the seven brand new tracks, To features a cover of King Crimson’s iconic “20st Century Schizoid Man”.
To was recorded at Roslyn Studio. Haldor Grunberg of Satanic Audio (Behemoth, Thaw, Sunnata) was responsible for the mix and mastering. Front cover and layout by Sars (Furia, Wędrowcy~Tułacze~Zbiegi).
