UMBRA CONSCIENTIA’s third full-length, The Shrine of Thagirion, brings the Costa Rican / German black metal band into what the release announcement describes as more claustrophobic territory. Terratur Possessions has set December 9th for the album’s international release on CD and vinyl LP.
The announcement places the record’s musical direction in relation to its predecessor, building on the tension between relentless aggression and a cold, malignant atmosphere. It describes violence and atmosphere as being forced into a “suffocating equilibrium,” presenting a more oppressive approach that retains the aggression associated with UMBRA CONSCIENTIA.
Worldwide distribution will be handled by Amor Fati Productions. Dávid Glomba supplied the artwork.
The seven-track album opens with “Foreshadowing” and closes with “El Resplandor de Thagirion.” The complete tracklisting and supplied running times follow.
- Foreshadowing — 2:16
