Melbourne-based dark folk/blackgaze project SULDUSK will celebrate the release of their much-awaited, sophomore studio album, Anthesis, due out via Napalm Records!
“Magical, emotive, and utterly dreamlike in execution – be they dreams or nightmares – SULDUSK enrapture the listener to follow them down the musical well with Anthesis. It’s the type of album that you can close your eyes, turn up the volume, and completely immerse yourself in,” writes Dead Rhetoric. Dark Art Conspiracy says “‘Anthesis’ feels like an incredible fight between light and darkness; when the hazy bleakness starts to consume, the light and beauty shine through and always prevail, making for a captivating and cathartic experience which perfectly captures the ethos of the album’s title, with Anthesis meaning to bloom.” Metal Temple rates Anthesis as a 10/10 Masterpiece, and New Noise Magazine suggests “Imagine blackgaze filtered through an eerie folk aesthetic—or Chelsea Wolfe collaborating with Deafheaven—and you’re most of the way toward the sheer beauty expressed throughout this record.”
In support of SULDUSK’s critically acclaimed new album, today, the Australian act is premiering a music video for their latest haunting single, “Mythical Creatures”!
Band mastermind Emily Highfield comments:
“We are so pleased to finally release Anthesis!
This album extends the path laid down by Lunar Falls, but having a full band beside me now emboldened me to be braver in the musical and emotional terrain we explored.
Mythical Creatures is a song dedicated to those brave folk who are cutting their own path.
The clip was directed by Joe Betros and features headpiece and other incredible art by The Obtainery – an artist who creates designs from recycled materials and nature.“
