Signal Rex announces December 12th as the international release date for Astral Spear’s striking debut mini-album, Astral Spear, on CD and 12″ vinyl formats.
Astral Spear are a newcomer with an old sound. Hailing from Poland, indeed do the mysterious entity harken to their homeland’s ancient black metal style – cold, mystical, defiant – and with similarly strong songwriting to boot. However, to say that Astral Spear stands in the glare of burning churches isn’t entirely accurate. With their own fire blazing brightly, Astral Spear erect surging monuments of stoic darkness, under a funeral moon but taking their torch to other dread places. Righteous and robust in their physicality but equally emitting an ethereal aspect, Astral Spear’s opening salvo is a 22-minute journey to forgotten realms: truly named!
