The EP really was a new avenue for the band as we leaned further toward a more blackened approach stylistically. Having more of a tech death background, this EP was a way to lead our fans into the next era. “Between The Worlds Of Life And Death” is an album that really is just a continuation of what we started with “Accursed”. It captures the band’s core sound, but also brings a newer and bold take on this brand of metal. We want this to be the most approachable album we have made for metal fans. We want people to put this on and be sucked in immediately, yet keep coming back for more.” VALE OF PNATH will be touring the US in May with co-headliners ABIGAIL WILLIAMS and special guests SUMMONING THE LICH. www.facebook.com/valeofpnathco
