News update : NUMENOREAN – May 2, 2016

NUMENOREAN are finally revealing the title of their forthcoming full-length, which has been penned down as ‘Home’. The Canadian post-black metal outfit from Calgary will release their debut on July 22nd. Continue reading for more details!

‘Home’ was recorded by NUMENOREAN vocalist/guitarist Byron Lemley and Alex Kurth in Calgary, and mixed as well as mastered by Josh Schroeder (GHOST BATH, BATTLECROSS, KING 810) at Random Awesome Studios in Michigan. Regarding ‘Home’, Byron comments on behalf of the band: “This album is an exploration and journey into some of the deepest human emotions we have. While it does offer hope and solace along the way, it ultimately never recovers.” Engineer Josh Schroeder adds: “NUMENOREAN’s sound reminds me of a dark, distant memory of falling from a great height. I am always looking to challenge the way I approach records, and no better way than to work with artists like NUMENOREAN who are challenging the definition of black metal.”

Regarding their signing to Season of Mist, NUMENOREAN previously commented: “We feel very privileged and honoured to join the Season of Mist family. Moreover, we have no doubt that this partnership is the best possible step to take in order to fully realize not only the vision of our soon to be released full-length, but all future pieces of work as well.”

NUMENOREAN were founded by Brandon and Byron Lemley in Canada’s most northern major city, Calgary as a sole expression for the discontentment of existence in 2012. The brothers released a two song demo under the title ‘Demo 2014’ to strong critical acclaim. New members were recruited, who shared a closeness to sorrow, nature, and grief. Once their line-up was completed, each member contributed to the making of the forthcoming full-length, which has been tentatively scheduled to this summer.

Line-up
Brandon Lemley: vocals
Byron Lemley: guitar, vocals
Roger Leblanc: guitar, vocals
Rhys Friesen: bass, vocals
