British band, Ewigkeit, will release DISClose on February 23rd digitally and on March 23rd on CD, via the label Death To Music. New video, "Guardians Of The High Frontier", is streaming below.

The theme of DISClose is inspired by the growing movement of modern Ufology as well as the push toward official testament and disclosure of an alien presence visiting our skies.

"I've always had a keen interest in UFOlogy," says Fogarty and continues to explain that "things have been really become active over the last 18 months." He assumes the reason being: "Aside from revelations about multiple exoplanets, the passing of massive interstellar object Oumuamua and revelations of the Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, there has also been the planned launch of the U.S. government's 'Space Force'." Fogarty honestly believes that "we are on the cusp of the official confirmation of intelligent Extraterrestrial life, perhaps of a form that is genuinely threatening to our own - and it is this hypothetical conflict that I wrote the song 'Guardians of the High Frontier' about."

The video has been animated by Fogarty with the help of Jessica Tilley and Lenny Bridgeman.

Ewigkeit is the ever-changing project of British multi-instrumentalist James Fogarty (In The Woods, Old Forest, Jaldaboath and others). Starting off as a black metal project in the mid 90s, the project has veered from symphonic black mMetal to industrial to 70's space rock and back again in the many years of it's on / off existence. The project has dealt with various themes over this time - whatever has been the current interest of it's creator.

DISClose is the 8th album; this has the greatest audio 'density' of all the releases, and sees the guitar settle somewhere around a baritone middle ground of early death doom and modern extreme metal topped with memorable riffs. The vocals are a mix of blackened metal and clean harmonies, not unlike those on the new In The Woods album (which was recorded simultaneous to this). The keyboards again add an ambience and space that is common to all Ewigkeit releases. DISClose is the strongest and most coherent album since 2005’s Conspiritus album (Earache).

The theme of this album is inspired by the growing movement of modern Ufology and the push toward official testament and disclosure of an alien presence visiting our skies: "Beyond the Black Majestic coven of 12 lie the secrets of flying saucery - the time to Disclose the truth of the Alien presence on Earth is upon us."

Cover artwork is designed exclusively for Death To Music productions by graphic artist Lenny Bridgeman. Album mastering was completed by Frederic Gervais of Studio Henosis.

DISClose is available to pre-order now from deathtomusic.com, and will be released digitally across all platforms to buy & stream on February 23rd, and on CD on March 23rd.
