According to Agonia Records, NPR (National Public Radio in the USA) is giving the opportunity to get acquainted with “Hemmed By Light, Shaped By Darkness”, the full new album from EPHEL DUATH, prior to release date. The exclusive full-album stream will be live until November 19th – the European release date – while North American release date falls on 26th. Stream it HERE.

Ignited by commitment and passion, “Hemmed By Light, Shaped By Darkness” is a multi-layered hybrid of death metal, jazz and post rock, and a strong statement from a band never bounded by rules. With intuition set as the only significant parameter, EPHEL DUATH takes an uncompromising will to experiment, to a whole new level of intensity. “This album holds together all that Ephel Duath’s music has touched in the last fifteen years and pushes its boundaries even further” – comments Davide Tiso. “Lyrically the new songs dig deep in higher self subject matters, combining brutally visual imagery with a painfully honest soul searching quest.”
