BrooklynVegan
is currently streaming ”It’s As If It Were,” the latest single from
Seattle, Washington-based progressive black metal practitioners IZTHMI. The track comes off the band’s Leaving This World, Leaving It All Behind full-length set for release on March 4th via Satanik Royalty Records.
In the ever-changing landscape of society and the world at large, the IZTHMI collective
found themselves lost in a place that has become less and less
recognizable. As the world continues to change in ways that are both
terrifying and inevitable, IZTHMI seeks to move forward. Leaving This World, Leaving it All Behind
represents the mourning of the losses that we all have endured these
last couple of years, and a celebration of the victories and hopes of
what is to come. As we leave this world behind, we look towards a better
one.
BrooklynVegan
lauds the band’s seamless combination of “black metal fury with all
kinds of proggy twists and turns, which feel like a genuinely fresh take
on black metal.”
Adds
the band of "It's As If It Were,” “It’s the first song we wrote for
this LP, a pummeling and unrelenting track of blackened and
grind-infused ferocity. Thematically, this song lauds the act of
standing firm in our truths and values despite constant and unrelenting
forces that try to pull us astray.”
Stream "It’s As If It Were" exclusively at BrooklynVegan at THIS LOCATION.
Leaving This World, Leaving it All Behind’s
eight tracks were captured by renowned producer/engineer Billy Anderson
at the Hallowed Halls, mixed by Anderson at Everything Hz, mastered by
Justin Weis, and comes cloaked in the mystical artwork of Andrzej
Masianis.
Leaving This World, Leaving it All Behind will be released on vinyl and digital formats. Find physical preorders at THIS LOCATION and digital preorders HERE where previously released tracks “Leaving It All Behind” and "The Shadows Of Our Disillusionment" can also be streamed.
In
2016, a shared passion for atmospheric black metal drove founding
members Autumn Day and Nolan Head to begin writing music for the band
that would eventually become IZTHMI.
As time went on, they eventually completed their lineup with Jakob
Keizer, Brett Tomsett, and Gabe Kangas, forming the quintet that is the
band today. The band’s critically lauded debut full-length The Arrows Of Our Ways, explored the journey of self-realization through the confines of social struggle that many of us experience today. Leaving This World, Leaving It All Behind looks towards a better tomorrow.
