Montreal-based progressive death metal legends, Augury, has been hard at work the last few years writing and recording the follow-up to their sophomore album, Fragmentary Evidence. Their third full-length, Illusive Golden Age, is set for release on March 30th through The Artisan Era. Preorder the album here, and listen to a full album stream below.

The stunning cover art was designed by renowned artist Filip Ivanović, who created last year's Origin album art. Augury enlisted Cryptopsy guitarist Chris Donaldson at The Grid Studios in Montreal with the album's mixing and mastering to ensure a high-quality sounding final product.

Augury had the following to say about Illusive Golden Age “We're proud to present you Illusive Golden Age, our new album, which makes the connection musically and lyrically with Concealed and Fragmentary Evidence. It took us quite a long time to concretize so we're eager to see people's reaction to our new music. Illusive Golden Age is a poetic tale about the recurrence of downfall and a glance at some factors that bring down societies, influenced by lost civilizations and their enigmas.”
