Los Angeles (USA)-based progressive doom outfit Qaalm is pleased to reveal their video for “Borderlands”. The 12-minute epic serves as the opening track off the band’s second full-length, Grave Impressions Of An Unbroken Arc, set for release on 1 November via Hypaethral Records.
Grave Impressions Of An Unbroken Arc captures the full breadth of Qaalm's vision: an album awash in soul-crushing riffs, dense, evocative atmospheres, and deeply personal lyrics showcasing the band’s signature ability to fuse immersive doom with melodic black metal, post-metal, and progressive rock. Drawing from a vast array of influences like Dark Tranquillity, Dissection, The Sisters Of Mercy, King Crimson, and early Peaceville doom, each track weaves a tapestry of introspection and crushing intensity aided by the skilful engineering of Paul Fig and expert mixing and mastering of Zeuss, two powerhouses who’ve collectively worked with the likes of Slipknot, Hatebreed, and Municipal Waste.
Vocalist Henry Derek Elis comments about “Borderlands”: "This song is largely inspired by the spirits that inhabit ancient civilizations and indigenous land. It’s no secret that there’s a troubling history that plagues generations today. Natives that have been dispossessed, robbed of their resources, forced to live elsewhere. The darkness resurfaces, manifesting itself into disastrous things. Tainting the soil, haunting many of the lost souls that are living in turmoil today. Self-deprecation, scarification and the rejection of western religion is also a theme here. Prayers for the suffering and plentiful crops are more so a ritual and of cultural significance. Giving back to the earth as nature intended."
