Cocyte have a third album coming in 2027, and the first thing off it is here now.
Consuming Dreams arrives with a video, and it is the band's first new music since My Blackest Book in 2024. That record was only their second album in fifteen years of existence, after The Human Disease in 2017, so a third one announced this far ahead says something about how this band works: three EPs between 2011 and 2013, then long gaps and finished records rather than a steady drip.
The Liege five piece play melodic death metal with metalcore in the frame, which in practice means leads that carry the song and a rhythm section built for the breaks rather than around them. Kevin Sanchez has had the vocals since 2014, Steve Maes has been on bass since the band formed in 2009.
They remain unsigned, which for a band of this age in Belgium is less a complaint than a working arrangement: the 2024 singles came out the same way, and so has this one.
No title and no month for the album yet, only the year.
