Eshtadur have released August's Burdens and Omen Of Millennia, two more songs from In Darkness All Shadows Gone, their fifth album, due on 2 October through Rockshots Records.
The record follows a character the band call The Crow through a spiritual journey; Into the Woods, the first single, put him at the start of it, and August's Burdens deals with what the journey costs, the weight and the affliction the soul carries through it.
The title points at Augustus, an enlightened sacred emperor whose wisdom is supposed to sit outside ordinary reality. Old traditions name Three Augusts as primordial beings who gave people the sacred knowledge, the I Ching and acupuncture among it.
The band have been going in Pereira since 2005, melodic black metal at first and melodic death metal since.
