North American Tour Launches February 18th with

Fleshgod Apocalypse, Obscura & Wolfheart

THULCANDRA’s rise to power ignited when the Germany-based outfit unleashed their debut album, ‘Fallen Angel’s Dominion’, upon metaldom in 2010. The group, fronted by founding member and visionary Steffen Kummerer (also of Obscura fame), have tightened their hibernal grip on blackened death metal since. The desolate melodic emanations in follow-up studio records ‘Under a Frozen Sun’ (2011), ‘Ascension Lost’ (2015), and the chart-topping, 2021-album ‘A Dying Wish’, dedicated to late drummer Chris Kratzer, solidified THULCANDRA as a superior force, expertly thrusting the magic and mystery of mid-’90s melodic black-death metal into the modern era.

Their fifth attack, ‘Hail the Abyss’, showcases the band‘s affinity for dark, aggressive and mellifluous metal while the album rips and terrorizes with the intensity of hell. As always, THULCANDRA’s about a vibe – there’s always a unique “feel” that’s distinctly old-school, but without the tired trappings of it.

Give ear, as in support of their upcoming record release, today, the four-piece not only continues to gear up for their first ever North American tour, but has just unleashed a video for their new, fierce album single, “As I Walk Through The Gateway”!

Says band guitarist/vocalist Steffen Kummerer:

“‘As I Walk Through The Gateway’ turned into a catchy, relentless and melodic exercise of black & death metal that blends the strengths of the band in a unique form. Catch the band on their first North American tour alongside Fleshgod Apocalypse, Obscura and Wolfheart to feel the blistering power behind this composition in a live setting.”
