APHND Posts New Single Online

It's the third new track taken from upcoming album "Infernum In Terra," out 24th September 2021 via Long Branch Records / SPV. Watch the visualiser for "Reflections Of The Dead" below.
Sal Abruscato commented on the new single: "For me, one of the best doom songs I have simply ever written; nothing extravagant, just heavy, moody and dark.

Leave behind this cruel raging world!"
"Infernum In Terra" is the fourth studio album by the band and has been mastered by Maor Appelbaum (Faith No More, Meat Loaf, Yes, Sepultura, Halford) at Maor Appelbaum Mastering (California,USA) while the artwork was created by Kelvin Doran of Serpent Tusk Studios (Dublin, Ireland). More...
