Ascendance Records has issued the following update from German gothic metallers FLOWING TEARS:

“It took a while, but there's great news finally:

After some really busy and hard working months the work on the new album is finished. We just finalised the mix. Sorry for not keeping you all updated during the production, but we were that much into it that we apparently just forgot to do so…

Well, time for some facts to be relevealed then: the album will be entitled Thy Kingdom Gone. It will be a concept album containing 12 songs.

It has probably become the darkest and most intense one we ever did. We're really excited about how this one turned out and can't wait for you to listen to it! I think we really managed to capture the essence of what Flowing Tears is about: there's tons of really heavy melancholic guitar stuff, tons of atmospheres, and probably the most personal and dedicated lyrics we've ever written.

Somehow the album pretty much breathes the spirit of albums like Joy Parade or Jade in terms of atmosphere and density, even though it's much heavier. And even though the album feels very homogenous, it is probably our most varied one. There's a lot to discover… you'll be surprised. Expect an intense one. No party music, not meant to have a good time with definitely.

Moreover we're excited to announce that the artwork for the album will be done by Seth Siro Anton, whom some of you might know from the great work he did for MOONSPELL, SOILWORK or PARADISE LOST lately.

A release is currently scheduled for October. There's no definite release date yet, but as soon as we have it, we'll post it here, along with a complete tracklist and more detailed information. “

More information will be made available soon.
