Seasoned psychedelic / atmospheric tinged progressive death metal outfit Burial In The Sky recently announced their forthcoming sophomore full-length, Creatio et Hominus. The album is set for release on June 1st.

The Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania based group established a name for themselves with the release of their 2016 debut, Persistence Of Thought, which was enhanced by the advanced session drumming of Decrepit Birth member Samus Paulicelli.

For their new album, Burial In The Sky picked up drummer Sam Stewart who also plays piano on the group's upcoming album. At the same time, the band added bassist and saxophonist Zach Strouse who contributed all of the highly praised saxophone playing found on River Of Nihil's new album, Where Owls Know My Name. The recent last-minute addition of longtime Cognitive vocalist Jorel Hart rounds out the new album's lineup which begins with founding member, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist James Tomedi. Like his multi-talented bandmates, James contributes much outside of his main guitar role, adding slide guitar, keys, mandolin, and kalimba to the new album's sonic arsenal. 

Today, Burial In The Sky launch "The Pivotal Flame", the first single to drop from Creatio et Hominus. The song prominently features Zach Strouse's smooth saxophone playing alongside a litany of progressive focused twists and turns outside of the roaring technically inclined death metal focus at the heart of "The Pivotal Flame". 

Pre-orders for Creatio et Hominus are available now via Bandcamp.
