Croatian death metal band IN DAKHMA has set November 8th as the international release date for their highly anticipated debut full-length album, He Who Sows the Ground.
The album is inspired by metal bands like Entombed, Bloodbath, Cannibal Corpse, Alkaloid, Gojira, Opeth, and Morbid Angel fused with doom-inspired low guitar tunings.
Lyrically, the album explores the divided aspects of our culture and civilization, society plagued by conflict, ancient stories and their meanings. All lyrics were written by Matko Podobnik with the exception of “Ona kraljuje sama”, which is an adaptation of “Smrt i ja” by Antun Branko Šimić.
Recorded in Chicken Sound Studio by Vedran Nor (bass/guitars/vocals) and Matko Podobnik (drums), mixed and mastered by Vedran Kovačić Beli, it’s a full-length album with 11 tracks.
The album features two guests: Tomislav Ferenc on lead guitar (“Sentinel Hill”) and Darjan Fiolić on lead guitar (“In Dogma”), vocals (“Sentinel Hill”) and mandolin (“...“ = “three dots”).
Cover art was made by Vanja Perković, and everything video-related was done by Mirko Czukor.
The album will be released via the band's own label, Tower of Silence Records.
