The Predatory Light seeks to peel the mind and inseminate the spirit-cortex with the corrosive fluid of divine transgression.”
Today, American black metal vanguard Predatory Light premiere the new track "Laughing Wound" at Decibelmagazine's website. The track hails from the band's forthcoming debut album, Predatory Light, set to be released on CD by Invictus Productions on September 22nd and the vinyl co-released by Invictus and Psychic Violence. In lieu of a forthcoming tour - more info after the jump - "Laughing Wound" can be heard HERE.While logically expanding upon the already-distinct voice established on Predatory Light's two celebrated demos and split LP and venturing down the same labyrinthine paths, Predatory Light also forges new ground for the band. While much of the songwriting finds the band pushing further into the melodic unknown, there is simultaneously a paradoxical willful regression that witnesses the players more clearly exhibiting the influence of classic Greek, Italian, and South American black metal. It is precisely this ability to balance tradition with a single-minded compositional freedom that makes the album so remarkable.
