Frontiers Music Srl has announced the upcoming debut album from Ardours, the new alternative gothic metal band featuring lead vocalist Mariangela Demurtas (Tristania), together with multi-instrumentalist and producer Kris Laurent. Entitled Last Place On Earth, the album will be released on August 9th.

BraveWords is premiering the video for the single, "Last Moment". Watch below, and pre-order the album here.

The lineup on the album is rounded out by Mariangela's fellow Tristania member Tarald Lie on drums, who also wrote the lyrics for the songs. The end result is an exciting and creative album with a fresh sound straddling the lines between rock, metal, and gothic atmospheres with prominent vocal melodies and hooks. In the words of singer Mariangela Demurtas, "The album is a carousel of fatalism, confusion, insight, enlightenment, self-deception, bitterness, loss of faith, apathy, closure, and hope of a new dawn spinning relentlessly towards the looming contours of the end. Or the complete opposite. We definitely like to leave as much free interpretation as possible to the audience."

About “Last Moment”, Mariangela says, “It is a song about approaching the end. It is actually an optimistic and positive song compared to some others on the album; however, focusing on the notion that something better than this world is waiting, so we can leave life with a radiant hope. In the video we wanted to show our identity in a way that the audience could see how we express ourselves lyrically and musically."

The band have announced their first live show will happen on September 7, at La Cueva Rock in Quartucciu (Cagliari) Italy.
