Marking their first full-length release since 2017’s critically acclaimed »White Halo«, the album sees the Japanese post-hardcore/screamo pioneers push their distinctive blend of crushing intensity, cinematic post-metal and atmospheric beauty to new emotional extremes.

Exploring themes of loss, memory, grief and transcendence, »The End Of Purification« is the band’s most expansive and emotionally powerful work to date.

The new video »Zanka« captures the album’s emotional intensity in an unfiltered plunge into despair and nostalgia. Driven by agonizingly beautiful dual-guitar harmonies, it builds from fragile introspection into a devastating, tension-filled finale.

After nearly two decades of shaping Japan’s underground heavy-music scene and touring extensively across Europe and Asia, Heaven In Her Arms open a powerful new chapter with »The End Of Purification«. »The End Of Purification« is out now via Banshies.

For nearly two decades, the band have been one of the defining forces in Japan’s underground heavy-music scene, developing a singular sound somewhere between post-hardcore, screamo, post-metal and atmospheric heavy music. Built around the volatile interplay of three guitars, their music moves effortlessly from crushing intensity and cinematic tension to moments of fragile, disarming beauty.

Following their critically acclaimed third album »White Halo« (2017) which earned international acclaim including a 7.7 rating from Pitchfork. Heaven In Her Arms return with their most expansive and emotionally powerful record yet.

»The End Of Purification« explores loss, memory, grief and transcendence, with recurring imagery of the moon, light, decay and absence. Dark, intense and deeply atmospheric, the album expands the band’s songwriting while retaining everything that has made their sound so distinctive.

The record features collaborations with PG2 (ENSLAVE) on »Dawn Yarn« and Netako Nekota (JYOCHO / heliotrope) on »Spilt Prayers«.

After nearly two decades, extensive touring across Europe and Asia, and a celebrated return to the international stage at Roadburn Festival, Heaven In Her Arms are entering their next chapter.
