Vow Of Thorns Announces New Album "Farewell To The Sun"

For the past six years, the Ontario-dwelling black metal doom fusionists making up Vow Of Thorns have been conceptualizing albums and pushing the boundary between aggressive and emotional.

What once served as an anagram for Kevin Hawthorne’s solo work is now a joint effort with Dustin Richards. Their new album "Farewell To The Sun" is set for release on July 15th, 2016 and follows the 2013 EP "Forest Dweller."

Check out the album's opening track "Meeting On The Astral Plane" below. Guitarist D. Richards comments:

"'Meeting on the Astral Plane' tells the story of one man’s escape from physical reality to a place of infinite possibilities; an existence free of mortal boundaries. The escape, however, is only temporary and he must return to his lowly existence and face himself, which he does in the following track 'Great Abomination'.

"His experience on the astral plane leads him to believe that death may be the ultimate escape. As our protagonist’s experience progresses so does the music. From the triumphant march of the opening riff to the crushing doom encased ending."
