Montreal, QC black doom band Éohum (pronounced ee-o-um) have premiered the track "Thus Spewed Thy Infectious Reign" from their upcoming debut Revelations, Aurora Of An Epoch due out on April 7th via Mycelium Networks as a pay what you want release here.
"'Thus Spewed Thy Infectious Reign' starts with a salad of doom riffs, gutturals and cleans, slowly progressing mid-way through the song to a relentless black death anthem. Transitioning between both worlds, this song has the capacity to keep the attention of an array of metal lovers. Type of song you want to put on a loop or that haunts your conscious for a couple of days! Lyrically speaks of our point of no return as a species, unless we awaken from our deep sleep and brings to surface the many coma-tic ways of our times. One of my personal favorites from Revelations, Aurora Of An Epoch," comments guitarist Jeremy Perkins.Revelations, Aurora Of An Epoch tracklisting:

With so much talent from various backgrounds, Éohum blend the most gruesome with the cleanest of black and doom metal to create hypnotic riffs with seducing horns. The band name Éohum means many Yew trees in old English, Yew tree is the Tree of Life for the English tribes of our past, pre-dating most of the Celt languages, which blended Latin to their own afterward. The E without the accent would mean many war horses, so that’s why there is an accent, not because it’s a French word.
