Blackened death metal outfit Thulcandra have announced their new album, Hail The Abyss, is scheduled to arrive on May 19th via Napalm Records. To celebrate the announcement, the group shared a video for the first single, “As I Walk Through The Gateway.”

Guitarist/vocalist Steffen Kummerer comments:

“As I Walk Through The Gateway turned into a catchy, relentless and melodic exercise of black & death metal that blends the strengths of the band in a unique form. Catch the band on their first North American tour alongside Fleshgod Apocalypse, Obscura and Wolfheart to feel the blistering power behind this composition in a live setting. With ‘Hail The Abyss’, we just count the 5th album within 20 years of Thulcandra. A banger, and a diverse record that shows a unique blend of black and death metal, combined with classic heavy metal twin guitars. The album turned out excellent and Dan Swanö delivered a splendid mix – raw, natural and showcasing each individual musician on the record. ‘Hail The Abyss’ undoubtedly turned into a highlight of our long lasting career.“
