Bloody Disgusting Premieres Title Track “Haunter of the Dark”

With only 10 days to go until Sensory Records releases Haunter Of The Dark, awesome horror website, Bloody Disgusting, has premiered “Haunter of the Dark,” the title track of the album. Have a listen at this location!

“Musically speaking, “Haunter” is one of the heavier tracks on the album. It’s a little unpredictable and the band’s prog influences are apparent. There’s a nice balance of heavy guitar-based tracks and more mood-oriented cuts on the record.

Our last recording Misguided was a dark concept album and we wanted to continue on that path, so when we were looking at source material for the new album our singer, Will Severin, steered us to Lovecraft. He’s a big fan and had even produced a feature film adaptation of The Thing on the Doorstep that was released last year. Lovecraft’s dark themes appealed to us and we liked that Lovecraft’s “Haunter of the Dark” is told from a single perspective and has a sci-fi element to it. We stayed very true to the story and worked to instill a sense of Lovecraft-ian atmosphere to the recording with regard to both lyrics and music.”

Prog Magazine Premieres “Federal Hill”

With only a few weeks to go until Sensory Records releases Haunter Of The Dark, the talented team at Prog Magazine has premiered “Federal Hill,” the first track on our new album. Have a listen at this location!

Want to know more about the track? Here’s what we told Prog:

“It’s a theatrical opening song for the album. We wanted to start things a bit softer and give a sense of character to our narrator through his artistic endeavors and occult interests before the story heads down the dark rabbit hole that Lovecraft devised.

Like Lovecraft’s story, our recording is told from a single point of view, that of protagonist Robert Harrison Blake. The track is really the calm before the storm and captures his sense of curiosity.

When we talked about the production of Federal Hill, we wanted to keep things fairly open in terms of sonic space. We bring in some retro instrumentation as a nod to some of our favorite classic prog groups.

There’s a mellotron line in there along with some vintage synth sounds and a few sections that have a more arranged feel, which develops later in the album. In addition to the softer, moody feel of a few songs like Federal Hill, the album also has plenty of heavy guitar-oriented tracks.

It has a bigger sound than our previous album and we think it’s a diverse and engaging album that hits hard and sticks with you. Musically speaking, there are a lot of influences the different members of the band bring to the table, so we think listeners will find a plenty of variety on the disc.”

Metal Underground Premieres “Fear”

As our label Sensory Records works hard to prepare Haunter Of The Dark, our friends at Metal Underground have premiered “Fear,” the seventh track on our forthcoming album. Check out the song now at this location!

Here’s what Metal Underground had to say about the track:

“Today we’re bringing you a dose of dark prog that dips into the maddening waters of the Cthulhu mythos!

Check out advance track “Fear” in the SoundCloud player below, and be sure to let us know what you think of the song.

This hard hitting track premiere from the NYC-based progressive metal band hails from upcoming Sensory Records release “Haunter of the Dark.”

Infinite Spectrum comments on the track: “We found that while ‘Fear’ worked in context of the Haunter story, it was also accessible as a stand alone track because the emotions it captures are universal. This track occurs about halfway through the new disc and it’s all about the abject fear that becomes a prison for our main character Robert Harrison Blake. Lyrically and musically ‘Fear’ moves the story forward and provides a hook to hang on to, but we think it also expresses the common feelings of anxiety and fear that everyone faces at one time or another in their lives.

“There are a lot of influences that the different members of the band bring to the table, so we think listeners will find a plenty of variety on the disc. Whether your a fan of heavier progressive metal, like Dream Theater/Symphony X or more of a classic prog fan of bands like Pink Floyd, you’ll find something to like. Of course, if you’re also a fan of Lovecraft it’s a perfect match.””
