Canadian Black Metal trio LIMINAL SHROUD will release sophomore album All Virtues Ablaze on August 5 via Willowtip Records.

The album’s first single, “Hypoxic,” is streaming now at:

LIMINAL SHROUD prepared the following statement concerning the album:

 

“Our second album, All Virtues Ablaze, takes the vision set forth on our debut and executes with greater intensity, song craft and performance. Written and recorded between 2019 and 2021, this album represents and captures a process of rejection, annihilation and regeneration of the self and contemplates the cyclical forces of futility that shape our condition.

Musically, All Virtues Ablaze is a major development on our previous album, taking the emotive atmospherics, searing melodicism and bitter fury found on Through the False Narrows to new heights. We are very proud of the compositional strength and impact of these four songs.

Lyrically, we delve deeper into the themes of hopelessness and despair, resolve and transformation present on our previous release, sharpened in the perception of emptiness yet with an eye to the vast reaches and sources of solace to be found above, below, and around us. Again, the unyielding tides and otherworldly expanses of the coast provide much inspiration.

This release is our next statement and beginning.

We find our virtue in the blaze.”
