Bell Witch will be releasing a new album called Future’s Shadow Part 1: The Clandestine Gate this Friday, April 21. It follows their 2017 LP Mirror Reaper, as well as 2020’s Stygian Bough Volume I, a collaborative record with Aerial Ruin. After hitting streaming services this week, the 83-minute album will be available on CD, cassette, and vinyl on June 9. Check out a teaser video for it along with the cover artwork (by Jordi Diaz Alamà) below.
Future’s Shadow Part 1: The Clandestine Gate is the first in a planned trilogy of albums. “Eventually, the end of the last album will be looped around to the first to make a circle,” the band’s Dylan Desmond explained in a press release. “It can be continuously looped, like a day cycle. This would be dawn. The next one would be noon. The following one would be sundown, with dawn and sundown both having something of night.”
