SCHAMMASCH - “Maelstrom” Music Video Streaming; European Tour With ROTTING CHRIST Announced
April 11, 2016, 8 years ago
Swiss avant-garde extreme metal titans, Schammasch, have released a new track, "Maelstrom”, from their upcoming triple-album, Triangle, which is set for worldwide release on April 29th via Prosthetic Records. Watch the new video for "Maelstrom" below.
Marking the third album in their discography, Schammasch's newest epic, Triangle encompasses 100 minutes in its entirety, with three distinct 33-minute movements differing in atmosphere and style and each representing the three stages of the album's strong concept – Part I: The Process Of Dying, Part II: Metaflesh and Part III: The Supernal Clear Light Of The Void.
This unique concept is visually represented through a series of four inventive photographs packaged as a bold triple-gatefold, limited-edition 3LP set and a 3CD set with imagery realized by acclaimed photographer Ester Segarra (Watain, Behemoth) and graphic designer Valnoir (Alcest, The Black Dahlia Murder). Rarely is such a grand musical and aesthetic feat accomplished within the bounds of extreme metal.
Pre-order's are now available which include a 3CD set (limited to 2,000 copies worldwide) as well as a triple gatefold vinyl 3LP set (limited to 666 pressings worldwide), reserve your copy in North America or UK / EU.

Schammasch have also revealed plans for a late fall jaunt across Europe supporting Greek extreme metallists' Rotting Christ alongside black metallists Inquisition and Mystifier. The band will next be seen performing two special appearances in their home country of Switzerland surrounding the album's release later this month.
