ENCHANTMENT released their Cold Soul Embrace full-length in June via Transcending Records and Cosmic Key Creations. The record serves as the bandâs first new output in nearly thirty years! Invisible Oranges lauds, âa return to that early era of romantic, atmospheric, downtrodden doom,â noting, âCold Soul Embrace culminates decades of ideas, thoughts, emotions, all back into the same expressive package as the bandâs youth. This means big, sad riffs and lots of atmosphere which accentuate a uniquely foggy, nostalgic sound.â Ghost Cult writes, âThe vocal tandem is the headline-grabber, but the instrumentations are just as vital to the machine that drives the record to its melancholic, unhinged gloryâ¦â Adds The Sleeping Shaman, âAt no point on Cold Soul Embrace does this sound like a band trying to recreate their glory days â instead itâs literally the album that should have followed Dance The Marble Nakedâ¦â

Cold Soul Embrace is available on CD, LP, and digitally. Find ordering options at the Transcending Records webshop HERE or Bandcamp HERE where the record can be streamed. For UK orders, go HERE.

ENCHANTMENT was forged in 1991 in the midst of the UK death/doom metal movement alongside the likes of Paradise Lost, Anathema, and My Dying Bride. In that year, they released a self-funded demo, A Tear For Young Eloquence, and were subsequently signed to Century Media Records before recording and releasing their debut album Dance The Marble Naked in early 1994. The band played alongside many great death metal bands of the era including Bolt Thrower, Anathema, Cancer, and Cradle Of Filth before disbanding in 1995, leaving behind the compositions of an entire second album that had yet to be recorded.

Fast forward nearly 25 years. With the reissue of their debut album on vinyl for the first time (and after numerous successful reissues earlier on CD), ENCHANTMENT officially regrouped. In 2020, the band started the unenviable task of resurrecting all the original rehearsal tapes and lyrical content from that lost second album and started working on demoing the tracks. This caught the attention of both Transcending Records and Cosmic Key Creations with whom the band ultimately decided to sign with, with the prospect of finally recording and co-releasing their sophomore full-length. It is unknown if any other similar band can claim to have written almost a full album in the peak of the British death/doom metal explosion and for it to have never been recorded or released. YetÂ twenty-eight years to the day exactly that Dance The Marble Naked was first released, the band are now about to unveil Cold Soul Embrace.
