SOLOTHUS: 20 Buck Spin Releases “Below Black Waters” By Finnish Quintet; Realm Of Ash & Blood To See Release In Late March


Finnish quintet SOLOTHUS prepares to issue their third album, Realm Of Ash And Blood, through 20 Buck Spin in late March. With the record now a month from release, the label has dispatched its crushing fifth song, “Below Black Waters.”
SOLOTHUSRealm Of Ash And Blood drops a dripping broadsword of Cimmerian carnage and staggering death-soaked doom delirium on the scorched landscape from which only mounds of skull dust and obsidian shards shall remain. The album’s drums, guitars, and bass were recorded and mixed by Lauri Laaksonen, and the vocals recorded and edited by Tommi Ilmanen at Sounds from Below Studio. The album was mastered by Dan Lowndes at Resonance Sound Studio and completed with cover art by the ever-prolific Adam Burke (Hällas, Eternal Champion, Angel Witch).

SOLOTHUS new single “Below Black Waters” is now playing at Bandcamp HERE and YouTube HERE.

20 Buck Spin will release Realm Of Ash And Blood March 27th on CD, LP, cassette, and digital formats. Find digital preorders HERE and physical preorers and bundles at the label webshop HERE.
Watch for live appearances too be scheduled and announced throughout the year.
Making its debut on 20 Buck Spin as a band ideally suited for the label, SOLOTHUS’ oppressively heavy mid-paced slaughter maintains a sense of unstoppable momentum even when slowing into the glacial. Yet the land of a thousand lakes has also infused SOLOTHUS with an ear for eerie melodic sorcery and tastefully ripping guitar solos to compliment the riff after riff of hammering granite.
Touching upon all things doom, the Realm Of Ash And Blood luxuriates in both the somber elegance and pained heaviness of the genre, it’s theatrical virtuosity and crushing simplicity. SOLOTHUS has stormed the gate, stained it with blood of pretenders, and taken the jeweled throne. Fans of Runemagick, Hooded Menace, Coffins, My Dying Bride, Krypts, Derketa, Ossuarium, Crowbar, and Celtic Frost, do not miss this.
