The Swedish avant-garde doom/sludge stalwarts Walk Through Fire are releasing their fourth full-length »Till Aska« on April 12, 2024. A monolithic portrayal of loss and grief, »Till Aska« – “To Ashes” in English – will first debut only on digital formats and streaming platforms. While physical releases aren’t currently planned, the band are open to label collaborations should the opportunity arise.

Representing the finest edge that their respective genres can offer on a global scale, Walk Through Fire has been steadily cementing themselves as a notable phenomenon over the past seventeen years. Blending down-tuned oppressive soundscapes with contemporary and classical music, the sonically unrelenting act has crafted a unique appearance for itself by means of uncompromisingly expanding the perimeters found in the more common understanding of what heavy music can be, resulting in an annihilating force to be reckoned with. Whether the black metal tendencies of their debut »Furthest From Heaven« or the dirges for life tones of »Vår Avgrund«, Walk Through Fire’s musical focal point has always been to become an aural catharsis – »Till Aska« being perhaps the most potent and poignant example of reaching that exact state.

From the most profound hellish depths to the soaring heights, the five tracks of »Till Aska« contain the very essence of Walk Through Fire while stretching the spectrum wider than ever before. The over fifty-minute endeavour is equally captivating as it is difficult, guaranteeing an immersive and rich experience to anyone willing to place themselves under its crushing weight. Walk Through Fire are no strangers to the transcendence of dread and its multiple manifestations, and while »Till Aska« crawls around its listener’s spine as a fiery serpent, it also offers resolve and spiritual consummation unlike ever heard before.

Recorded, mixed and mastered by Linus Andersson at Elementstudio, Gothenburg.
Original artwork “Frau mit totem kind” (1903) by Käthe Kollwitz.
