New Self-Titled Album out July 28, 2017 via Prosthetic Records | Pre-Order Here
 
Canadian post-rock/doom four-piece LOVIATAR (pronounced low-vye-ah-tar) have revealed another lyric video taken from their self-titled debut full-length, out worldwide on July 28, 2017 via Prosthetic Records. The track, “Ascendant”, is the final segment of their three-part “Stygian Wyrm” opus and can be heard here: https://youtu.be/hcLdUTQuypM
 
The band comments on the track,“‘Ascendant’ is the careening conclusion to the Stygian Wyrm trilogy, side A of LOVIATAR‘s self-titled debut LP. Thousands of years of rule cannot erase the remorse of the most intense personal failures. Set to the backdrop of thousands of years of a dystopian nightmare, the regrets of a being as old as time, corrupted by human weakness, lead him to the ultimate sacrifice.”

LOVIATAR‘s new self-titled album features two monolithic tracks: the aforementioned “Stygian Wyrm” (broken down into three parts for the digital release) and “Blind Goddess of the Nine Plagues”. It will be available on all digital platforms, digipack CD and a limited edition gold and black swirl LP. Pre-orders are available here: http://smarturl.it/Loviatar
 
LOVIATAR borrow equally from the hazy gloom of My Bloody Valentine and the crushing riffs of Isis. Formed in 2010, LOVIATAR have independently released a series of singles and EPs, and have been tapped to support such acts as Red Fang, Skeletonwitch, and Blood Ceremony. With clearly sung vocals and equal parts somber and soaring, their thunderous elements of doom and post-metal contrast with hypnotic moments of atmospheric introspection to set them apart from others in the genre.
