Greek doomgaze trio Church Of The Sea have unveiled their new album »Eva« in its entirety ahead of its release this Friday via These Hands Melt. Listen to the album via The Devil’s Mouth!

»Eva« reimagines the biblical story of Eve, challenging the traditional narrative and celebrating her defiance. The band explains, “»Eva« is a twist in the story from the Book of Genesis, where the female is not seen as the sinner for seeking knowledge, but as the rebel that embraces what others consider ‘forbidden’.”

In support of the album’s release, Church Of The Sea presented two singles and videos: »The Siren’s Choice« and the title track »Eva«.

Formed in Athens in 2017, Church Of The Sea have carved a distinct niche for themselves, balancing the crushing weight of doom with the ethereal beauty of dark electronic rock. Their signature sound blends fuzzed guitars, heavy distorted beats, and Irene’s captivating, chant-like vocals, creating an atmosphere that is both heavy and dreamlike, with hints of shoegaze and noise-rock intensity.

»Eva«, the band’s sophomore album, will be available on digital and CD formats, with a limited “sunburst” edition on vinyl. Pre-orders are still available HERE.

The album was recorded at Suono Studios, engineered, produced, and mixed by Alex Bolpasis, and mastered by Nick Townsend at Infrasonic Mastering, continuing their established collaborative relationships from their debut EP »Anywhere But Desert« (2018) and debut album »Odalisque« (2022).

Throughout their career, Church Of The Sea have graced the stages of numerous festivals and shared the bill with notable acts such as Wolvennest, Antimatter, The Murder Capital, Messa, and Dool, including two sold-out performances at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Athens.
