Hecate Enthroned unleash new single/music video ‘Deathless In The Dryad Glade’

HECATE ENTHRONED, the legendary architects of British symphonic black metal, have emerged from the shadows to reclaim their dark dominion. Now, they unveil the official music video and single for “Deathless in the Dryad Glade,” a visceral descent into the primordial shadow.

This haunting incantation serves as the second glimpse into their upcoming opus, ‘The Corpse of a Titan, A Lament Long Buried’, set to be unleashed upon the world on May 29th via M-Theory Audio.

“Deathless in the Dryad Glade is a chronicle of being led astray by malevolent woodland entities,” proclaims vocalist Joe Stamps. “It is a tale of cosmic horror and a transformation where one becomes ‘one with nature’ in the most unsettling and permanent of ways.”

Captured through the lens of Jack Maguire, the music video for “Deathless in the Dryad Glade” is a masterwork of atmospheric dread. It seamlessly weaves the band’s trademark symphonic grandeur with a raw, vicious energy.

Produced by the band alongside Dan Abela (Akercocke, Anaal Nathrakh), the album has been mixed and mastered to deliver maximum sonic devastation. The visual identity of the record was forged by Erskine Designs (Inanimate Existence, Bleed The Sky), capturing the ancient myths and legends that fuel the lyrics.

“These are huge, epic, hard-hitting songs carved in the traditional Hecate way,” says bassist Dylan Hughes. “It is a menacing veil delivered with a crisp, modern punch.”

One of the UK underground’s longest-running and most respected acts, HECATE ENTHRONED has been praised by the likes of Terrorizer for their “mixture of death metal aggression with black metal atmosphere” while New Noise Magazine declares them “an absolute must for fans of extreme gothic metal.” Originally co-founded in Wales by guitarist Nigel Dennen in the mid-1990s, the band is dedicated to delivering their own brand of evil metal with little regard to politics or the trends of popular demand. The group’s 1997 full-length, the Andy Sneap-produced ‘The Slaughter Of Innocence, A Requiem For The Mighty’ (Blackend Records), was a seminal release in the then-burgeoning orchestral black metal movement, and since then, five more studio outputs including their M-Theory Audio debut in 2019 with the ‘Embrace Of The Godless Aeon’ (HECATE ENTHRONED‘s first recording with vocalist Joe Stamps) and numerous live performances have firmly established the band as one of extreme metal’s most important voices.
