NEWS: Subrosa prep for new release with new track release for doom-tastic...and the violins come along too

SALT Lake City experimental doom band SUBROSA have unveiled 'Wound of the Warden', the first track from upcoming album, 'For This We Fought the Battle of Ages', due out August 26 on Profound Lore Records.

Fully engineered and mixed by drummer Andy Patterson, the album achieves a dynamic mix with bigger-sounding production values than their previous output. Mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege Engineering, the album’s intricacies are accentuated, and heaviness remains heavy - “heavy is important,” says Vernon.

With this release, the band are continuing the momentum built from 2013’s More Constant Than The Gods, which saw year-end acclaim in all metal and mainstream music outlets respectively. The album brought a new awareness to SUBROSA as one of the most prominent doom-infused metal bands from America today, through their singular crushing monolithic sound canvas - which consists of a devastating mix of soul crushing doom metal, neo-classical chamber music (solidified by the band’s two electric violin players) - and Appalachian murder balladry, all filtered through the veil of American gothic tragedy.

“Whenever we make an album, my number one ambition is to be an energy force, to create a difference and make people feel something real. I want it to do what art is supposed to do.” - Rebecca Vernon.

In support of For This We Fought the Battle of Ages, the band will be touring the globe extensively. Already confirmed is a European tour in September and October, with U.S. shows following in November.
