Soulburn have unleashed another single and lyric video, "M87 – What Hopes to Be Born?", taken from their forthcoming full‑length, Quantifying Cosmic Doom. The fifth album from the Dutch metal extremists is slated for release on 12 June via Testimony Records.
Guitarist Eric Daniels on "M87 – What Hopes to Be Born?": "Among all the songs, this one stands defiantly in its own orbit. It is the album's fearless voyager".
Vocalist Twan van Geel adds: "With 'M87 – What Hopes to Be Born?' we present the biggest grooving daredevil of our new album. Lyrically, this song deals with the lingering of time – not in the sense of fear of dying, but as in the struggle of life. The drive of this song always pushes my determination. It feels empowering – much more so than any other song on this album, which is why it deserves the spot as our second single".
Built upon a formidable foundation of death metal, Quantifying Cosmic Doom seamlessly adds walls of melancholy that are chiselled out of doom bedrock and crowns towering riffs with the fierce and spiritual flames of black metal. A wide range of musical variability, coupled with the masterful storytelling that threads through each epic composition, reveals Soulburn as seasoned veterans fully confident in their extreme craft.
With Quantifying Cosmic Doom, Soulburn renew their dark pact with their loyal following: to deliver metal that is extreme, uncompromising, and ever‑pushing into new frontiers while remaining faithful to the core tenets of black, death, and doom.
In October, Soulburn will embark on a European tour alongside Mork — full dates are listed below. Link
