Canadian post-rock/doom four-piece LOVIATAR (pronounced low-vye-ah-tar) have posted a lyric video taken from their self-titled debut full-length, out worldwide on July 28, 2017 via Prosthetic Records. The track, “Nascent”, is the first of their three-part “Stygian Wyrm” opus and can be viewed here:
The band comments on the track, “‘Nascent’ is the first movement of LOVIATAR‘s “Stygian Wyrm” trilogy. The song relates the birth of a dragon in fire, death and thunder, his formative years in solitude and his experiences among humans. Focusing on human failings, corruption and the inevitable apocalypse, LOVIATAR‘s debut opus will be released over the coming weeks.”
LOVIATAR (pronounced low-vye-ah-tar), are the latest addition to the Prosthetic Records family. Hailing from Canada, this four-piece borrows equally from the hazy gloom of My Bloody Valentine and the crushing riffs of Isis. With clearly sung vocals and equal parts somber and soaring, their thunderous elements of doom and post-metal contrast with hypnotic moments of atmospheric introspection to set them apart from others in the genre.
Formed in 2010, LOVIATAR have independently released a series of singles and EPs, and have been tapped to support such acts as Red Fang, Skeletonwitch and Blood Ceremony. In 2014, they shifted production to their newly built Wolf Lake Studios deep in the forested hills outside the nation’s capital and began work on their first full length LP. Self-titled and set for a worldwide release date on July 28, 2017, the album features two monolithic tracks available on all digital platforms, digipack CD and a limited edition gold and black swirl LP.
