Vallendusk have named their fifth album Steadfast and given the tracklist, with Solistitium Records releasing it and the opener, Ascent Of The Fiery Dawn, up now through the label.
Seven songs: after the opener come The Eternal Quest, A Quest Through Time, Forged In Time, The Silent Pursuit, With Valour And Might and In Vengeful Embrace. No date has been given beyond soon.
It would be the first album from the Jakarta band since Heralds of Strife in 2021, and the fifth since Black Clouds Gathering in 2013. Atmospheric black metal from Indonesia is not a thing anybody built a scene around, and the band has spent fifteen years at it with the same three people at the centre: Rizky sings, Valendino Mithos and Danang Sugianto play guitar, Derick Prawira drums, and Leonard came in on bass two years ago.
Solistitium is a German label that has been going since the mid nineties, which makes the distance between where this record is made and where it is sold the longest part of it.
