digipak. Since their inception in 2009, Switzerland's SCHAMMASCH have blazed a path of creative evolution. Never restricted by the black metal genre from which they were birthed, their promethean spirit can be charted musically, artistically and philosophically throughout their three previous albums and became most evident on their landmark triple album 'Triangle', released in 2016.Now expanded as a five-piece, SCHAMMASCH present their fourth full-length album 'Hearts Of No Light', which is set for November 8th release on Prosthetic Records. Whilst many would be daunted at the challenge of following such a monolithic piece as 'Triangle', the new album finds the band at the zenith of their formative powers. Presented over nine challenging tracks, Hearts Of No Light lays its foundation in the heights of their past work whilst presenting their most flowing and organic approach to date - jet-black at its core whilst vast and expansive in experimentation.Hearts Of No Light also celebrates artistic collaboration - classical pianist Lillian Liu added new dimensions to two pieces on the album whilst 'I Burn With You' features lyrical / vocal guest Aldrahn (formerly Dodheimsgard / Thorns). Visionary visual artist and musician Dehn Sora (Treha Sektori, Throane, Ovtrenoir) also contributes to the sprawling final track 'Innermost, Lowermost Abyss'.Hearts Of No Light presents the boldest statement from SCHAMMASCH to date.
