âShores Of Null Begin Another Gloomy Chapter With âNothing Left To Burnâ
New Album âThe Loss Of Beautyâ Out March 2023
Romeâs Shores of Null has a fourth album coming out next year, to expand their discography of melancholic doom. âThe Loss Of Beautyâ goes back to the usual full-length structure with different tracks, after the immersive experience of 2020âs âBeyond The Shores (On Death And Dying)â, which consisted of a single 38-minute track. Each of the upcoming singles released in anticipation of the release are accompanied by a series of videos by Sanda Movies. The first single is âNothing Left To Burnâ, which the band comments on:
âThis song was originally written in 2018 and recorded in 2019, with the intent of releasing it the next year, but then we changed our minds and released âBeyond The Shoresâ instead. So this song was kept secret until today, almost frozen in time, and itâs so cathartic to be finally sharing it with you, both song and video, which is by far the most complex visual piece weâve ever done, and for this, we must thank Martina and the Sanda Movies crew for the amazing work. It is a song about the burden of life, its endless struggles, and suffering, with the awareness that our existence is only transitoryâ.

Those who have been following Shores Of Null from the very beginning know that their influences touch many genres, and those who loved âQuiescenceâ and âBlack Drapes For Tomorrowâ wonât be disappointed. The band considers âThe Loss Of Beautyâ to be the natural evolution of those records, while âBeyond The Shores (On Death And Dying)â represents a slight detour from the main road. Those who have known them from âBeyond The Shoresâ might find this new offering a bit different, faster in tempo, but still very gloomy and melancholic.
âThe Loss Of Beautyâ is melancholic dark metal with a wide range of influences, from gothic metal to doom metal and melodic black/death metal, with frequent use of vocal harmonies and deep growls. It is recommended for fans of Paradise Lost, Amorphis, and Enslaved.
âThe Loss Of Beautyâ is due out March 24th, 2023.

About:Â Shores of Null stand out from their contemporaries with their ability to blend seemingly disparate elements into their sound, overwhelmingly heavy and soothing at the same time: blackened aggression stands alongside gothic-doom sections without either sounding out of place. Their music can be both melancholic yet majestic, made of chorale-like guitar textures across the instrumentâs entire range, sustained by a powerful rhythmic section and punctuated by a refined mixture of clean and growled vocals, along with extensive use of pleasing vocal harmonies which have become the bandâs trademark through the years.
The Rome-based metal band has been an unwavering presence within the metal underground since their musical outset in 2013, churning out three impressive records: the melodic and somber âQuiescenceâ (Candlelight, 2014), the darker and more complex âBlack Drapes For Tomorrowâ (Candlelight/Spinefarm, 2017), and finally their most ambitious work to date âBeyond The Shores (On Death And Dying)â (Spikerot Records, 2020), a 38-minute long opus which continues to prove the bandâs willingness to go off the beaten path while creating their ultimate doom manifesto.
The bandâs fourth album “The Loss Of Beauty”, recorded during the same sessions of âBeyond The Shoresâ, is expected to be released in March of 2023.
