Italian cosmic doom metal band, Ghostheart Nebula, will release their new album, »Blackshift«, on October 17th through Meuse Music Records. Today, further raising the anticipation for that majestic outpouring of darkness from beyond the stars, the band have unveiled a new single – »Orphan Of Light«. The song is full of masterful dynamic shifts and its sound is all enveloping, with as much power in the quietest moments as in the gargantuan riffs. Speaking about »Orphan Of Light« the band have said:
“Contrasts is the key word with »Orphan Of Light«. On one side the desperate cries of a son who seeks spiritual comfort in the astral figure of the ‘Mother Light’, in a limbo made of rarified atmospheres, spatial synths and explosive crescendos. The track moves in this dualism between light and void in which all the instruments chase each other in a roller coaster of emotions that perfectly paints the meaning of the entire »Blackshift« and marks the closure of the album.”
Experience »Orphan Of Light« now at the Meuse Music Records YouTube channel!
»Blackshift« is the second full-length album by Ghostheart Nebula, successor of the well acclaimed »Ascension« (2021), in which we see the official entry of Lucia Amelia Emmanueli into the lineup as female singer.
If blueshift and redshift represent a change in the spectrum in the space-time linear dimension, »Blackshift« moves itself off to another reality going down into the deepness of the blackest voidness.
A journey that starts embracing the nothingness with »Sunya«, referring to the concept of “sunyata”, the Indian philosophical concept for emptiness.
The album features cosmic themes as well as their reflection on human feelings »The Opal Tide« & »Naught,I« (with an excerpt from Carl Sagan’s »Pale Blue Dot« speech) and quantum entanglement theories »Infinite Mirror«.
Despair, sorrow and disillusion carry the title track »Blackshift« and »Traces« which is the most desperate track of the album in its restless search for leaving a mark, an epitaph of an ephemeral existence.
The last track »Orphan Of Light« faces the feminine/masculine dualism theme also in the coordinates of a mother and his son in the reunion process after the painful departure of the Mother Light who threw the hopeless son into the void.
Be ready for »Blackshift« on October 17th, an album that, once experienced, will never be forgotten.
