Band's 4th in career album is coming to shops on April 16th worldwide via Agonia Records. A re-release of AOSOTH's “II” and “III” albums – both for the first time on black vinyl – will be available at the same time.
“IV: Arrow In Heart” is a natural improvement over bands previews release, entitled “III”, which already was “a major step forward for Aosoth in creating their own distinct sound” (Sputnik Music). Commented by the band itself, the new release holds yet a bigger spiritual meaning: “We've spent such a huge amount of time on defining a darker identity, yet open to a wider range of influences. Those tracks still haunt us, as delivering them was a painful and excruciating experience, and left some of us even physically wounded… Which gives that album even more of a spiritual value, as it involved a form of sacrifice.” The band also added: “This fourth full-length release is without a doubt a great step forward for us in term of music writing, and sound.”
The album will consist of 6 original tracks and 56 minutes of music.
Tracklist:
1. An Arrow in Heart
2. One With The Prince With A Thousand Enemies
