Finnish black/death metal entity LANTERN will release their recently completed first full-length, Below, through Dark Descent Records this June. The album will be in stores on June 25th and available for pre-order on CD, black vinyl and red vinyl via the Dark Descent Records Webstore now.
After letting the dust of their acknowledged 2011 EP settle, LANTERN has returned to deliver a new, far more epic slab of dark and atmospheric death metal. LANTERN’s debut album Below is a relentless plunge into the unfathomable darkness these compositions are born of. Presented in the band’s unique style of carefully crafted yet filthy and morbid metal. Compiling seven strongly distinct macabre tales and covering thirty-eight minutes, Below is a definitive statement of a band in top form and demonstrates that death is not dead.
