Prepare for an epic sonic journey through the relentless forces of time and destiny with DESERT NEAR THE END’s latest album, "Tides of Time". Blending the raw power of Power/Thrash Metal with the intensity of Death and Black Metal, this Athens-based five-piece continues to push the boundaries of metal with their most dynamic release to date. Set for release on December 6th, 2024 via Theogonia Records," Tides of Time" promises a monumental listening experience filled with soaring melodies, crushing riffs, and powerful lyrical themes.
Produced by Akis Prasinikas, and recorded, mixed, and mastered by Vasilis Pappas at Incorporated M. Studios, "Tides of Time" offers a polished yet brutal soundscape. The album’s lyrical themes explore the rise and fall of cities, heroes, and kings, interweaving forgotten stories lost in time’s unrelenting tide. With an emphasis on grand, epic atmospheres, the album stands as a testament to DESERT NEAR THE END's evolving sound.
Key highlights of the album include Ruby Bouzioti’s haunting guest vocals on the track "Damnation" and Nik Rock’s acoustic guitar and effects on the emotionally-charged "In the North of Every Man’s Heart..", adding unique textures to the band’s already expansive sound.
Visually, "Tides of Time" is brought to life by the stunning artwork of Panagiotis Vlamis, complemented by a meticulously crafted booklet designed by Giannis Nakos (Remedy Art Design). The album captures the essence of DESERT NEAR THE END’s journey into more epic territories, with live photos from Elena Vasilaki and Yannis Dolas adding a personal touch to the visual experience.
With "Tides of Time", DESERT NEAR THE END delivers their most mature and expansive album yet, balancing technical aggression with epic grandeur. Fans of Power, Thrash, Death, and Black Metal alike will find themselves swept up in this powerful saga of history, humanity, and destiny.
