HEADKICK MUSIC is proud to present PERDITION’S MIRE’s highly anticipated second EP, Into a Dark Heartland, on CD and 12″ vinyl formats.
PERDITION’S MIRE was born from the restless souls of three individuals in Fredericia, Denmark, during the cursed year of 2020. The band’s goal was, and remains, simple: to channel personal darkness through the medium of black metal.
In early 2022, the EP The Doctrine of Losing Life was unleashed in digital and self-released MCD formats, containing six ice-cold hymns of darkness and death. The release was recorded at The Dark Room Studios and engineered, mixed, and mastered by Ralf Rendigs.
A considerable amount of time was then spent crafting new material with greater attention to detail. The culmination of these efforts was another six-track EP, titled Into a Dark Heartland, once again recorded at The Dark Room with Ralf Rendigs. Into a Dark Heartland spits forth the malicious venom of six varied black metal psalms in the old spirit, clocking in at 26 minutes. During this studio session, an exclusive song for a forthcoming Danish compilation LP was also recorded.
The new material presents PERDITION’S MIRE with sharpened talons and teeth, showcasing more aggressive, personal, and focused songwriting while maintaining a somber and pitch-black atmosphere. A deal was made with Danish label HEADKICK MUSIC (run by old friend Ustumallagam of Denial of God fame) to unleash this beast on vinyl and CD format on Friday the 13th of December 2024.
No time is wasted, as the band is already hard at work on a full-length album, building on the style presented on Into a Dark Heartland. Silence is golden, and bleak is the future!
