French atmospheric doom metallers Angellore inked a deal with Shunu Records earlier this year for the release of their sophomore album, La Litanie Des Cendres, which will be released at the end of August 2015. The band has checked in with the following update:

"After months of hard work and dedication, we proudly present you the cover of our sophomore album. This oil on canvas has been created by Florent Castellani exclusively for our album. The digipack will be completed by more of his astonishing artworks, making La Litanie Des Cendres a very special item.

And finally, here comes La Litanie Des Cendres tracklisting:

"A Shrine Of Clouds" (13:46) "Still Glowing Ashes" (10:25) "Twilight’s Embrace" (9:28) "Inertia" (6:24) "Moonflower" (18:29)

A lyric-video for 'Inertia' will be presented before the release of the album, still planned for August 24th.

At the moment, Angellore is also working on a very special bonus-track which will only appear on the vinyl edition of the album, to be released later this year.

And apart from our dear Cathy, who already enlightened Errances with her bewitching violin playing and gladly accepted to participate on this new album, we welcomed another very special guest. More on that later!"

Just like their debut, Errances, this five-song album was recorded and mixed between July 2012 and April 2014 by Florent Krist (bass player in Cynic's side project Aeon Spoke) at EverTone Studio in France. It was mastered by Markus Skroch (Hel, Nattsol, Elane).

Commenting on the album’s production, the band said: “Creating La Litanie Des Cendres (French for Litany Of Ashes) was a very demanding process, but we can assure you that the result is worth all the efforts we put into it. And it definitely feels great to start anew with a young and welcoming home like Shunu Records. With their help, we will make sure we take Angellore to the next level. We can’t wait to take you on our new musical journey. The best is yet to come!”

Matteo Coppola Neri, founder of Shunu Records has issued the following statement:

“When La Litanie Des Cendres arrived on my desk I was immediately surprised by how these guys could, with absolute nonchalance, extend their music from the early-'90s doom to today’s most psychedelic post-rock, passing through the emotional gothic rock. Within Shunu Records we have a wide range of musical tastes, some of us prefer post-rock, some indie-rock, others progressive, but when we listened to the album we all agreed on one thing: Angellore’s language is universal and their music speaks to everybody, because it goes straight to the heart. We have rarely found records of such beauty.”
