THE CLAN DESTINED, the UK-based pagan act featuring SABBAT/former SKYCLAD frontman Martin Walkyier, have released their new album, In The Big Ending, via Lime Records. Click here to order.

In The Big Ending was produced by Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, NEVERMORE, ARCH ENEMY, EXODUS) and James Murphy (DEATH, OBITUARY, TESTAMENT).

Walkyier comments on the release:

This unique six-track compact disc is the end result of over three years hard work, and the literally many thousands of hours of intense creativity that have been invested in this worthwhile project by numerous talented individuals from all over the world. As this may yet prove to be my final ever musical release, it is my heartfelt intention that this CD should be released in a strictly limited-edition format which will pay tribute not only to those who made it all happen, but that it may also prove to be a fitting epitaph to my own varied musical career which has to date spanned almost two decades.

Everything about this release is absolute premium quality, but I also wish to ensure that it is great value for money. I have collaborated with some highly interesting musicians on this project, so it's my deepest desire that it should finally reach you in a package that is built to last, and therefore I've paid every attention to even the smallest detail. It was most expertly produced in a very short space of time by world-renowned guitar gods Andy Sneap and James Murphy, who also even play some blistering guitar solos on these exclusive TCD tracks! Andy Sneap and Martin Walkyier working together after all these years since the Sabbat days is something that should really set tongues wagging all around the worldwide Metal scene.

The artwork for this release has all been done by the awesome Irish artist Paul McCarroll, whom I know for a fact has spent at least the best part of the last twelve months making very certain that everything is absolutely 666% perfect in the visual imagery department. I have therefore chosen to release the TCD In The Big Ending… CD in an Amaray DVD box format. Not only because it truly was absolutely the optimum way to display Paul McCarroll's most outstanding work, but also due to the fact that I reckon that these 'indestructible' boxes will withstand practically anything short of a nuclear explosion, not instantly dropping to bits like most conventional crappy CD jewel cases do after merely a moment's use.

When you purchase The Clan Destined In The Big Ending CD package you will also receive a limited-edition t-shirt exclusively designed by the highly talented Pagan artist & sculptor Neil Sims, who initially chose to pursue a full-time artistic career after listening to the Sabbat track 'Horned Is The Hunter'. My next venture following the release of this TCD CD will be to finally begin work upon a book of short stories illustrated by this most clever young man. These t-shirts are hand screen-printed in my own factory on 100% cotton shirts, and will be the fitting accompaniment to what may yet prove to be the highlight of my lengthy musical career.

Once again I would dearly like to thank all those among you who have sent encouraging emails to The Clan Destined website. It is largely due to the support and friendship you have shown me that these TCD recordings have actually reached fruition. I truly could never have done any of this without your enduring and selfless commitment to our noble cause."
