Eremos-IX have released Foregone, out now on CD through Metalkalve.
Six tracks: Silicate Heart, Rottweiler, The Mariner, The Anchorite, Nensha and A River of Iron. The Anchorite went out on its own earlier this year and is the only part of the album anybody had heard before this week.
It is the second full length from the band out of Riga, after The Glass Mind of a Recluse in 2019, with the Marquis of Snakes EP in between in 2025. Seven years separate the two albums, and almost everything about the band changed inside them. Until 2025 it was called Eremos, and until 2024 it was one person, Dāvis Kots, playing all of it.
Andrejs Žuks came in on bass in 2024, Frenks Šenbergs on drums and Aleksandrs Smoriževs on guitar in the same year, with Kots keeping the vocals and a guitar. The band is otherwise unsigned, with Metalkalve handling the CD.
