Brazilian Death Metallers ESCARNIUM will release a new 2 song EP entitled “Through The Depths Of The 12th Gate” via Redefining Darkness on January 21, 2022. It features one brand new track (the EP’s title track) and a cover of AMORPHIS’ ‘Pilgrimage From The Darkness’. A full EP stream is available at this location. ESCARNIUM guitarist / vocalist Victor Elian commented on it as follows: “The riffs for this song were written by me between 2016 and 2017 and Nestor Carrera (ESCARNIUM, ROTBORN) worked his magic on the drums from Brazil. Since we were not able to release any material in 2020 as mentioned above, we figured it would be nice to release a single (or a EP in this case) to ‘break the ice’ and re-introduce ourselves to the world. I actually like this song very much. It shows a slightly different face of ESCARNIUM, with a denser atmosphere and more cadenced tempo. I think it illustrates an evolution and maturity of the band. Its lyrics have a very personal meaning to me and refers to depression and some other personal subjects, as well as the current world state of pandemic chaos. It was the first song I wrote after a deep and long period of depression, so it is very sincere and has a really heavy meaning to me.” For regular updates make sure to follow ESCARNIUM at www.facebook.com/escarnium
