American Christian extreme band Symphony of Heaven streaming two songs ahead of Friday's EP release
ABOUT The Ascension of Extinction: “The Ascension Of Extinction”, the newest E.P. from Southern Indiana-based SYMPHONY OF HEAVEN showcases the band’s ever-increasing sonic growth. Dealing with humanity’s love for false ideologies, the band foretells the eventual collapse of human-based philosophy and the worship of self-made gods. The EP displays the sickening feeling of watching Mankind burn itself on the alter of Humanism and Marxism, featuring guest appearances from Karl Walfridsson of the mighty PANTOKRATOR, and MUND from the mysterious Swedish Black Metal group SKALD IN VEUM. SYMPHONY OF HEAVEN continues its drive forward in the world of metal, with a message of truth for these perilous times.
ABOUT Symphony of Heaven: Let me give you a vision.
A cool autumn wind howls through the tree's barren limbs. The sky is swept clean of it's lofty clouds, leaving nothing but pale moonlight, and the impending sense of dreaded loss.
This can be the closest description of the Blackened Death Metal that is Symphony of Heaven. Emerging from the mud and rust of southern Indiana in 2017, Symphony of Heaven came crashing into the underground metal scene with their first EP, ...OF SCARS AND SOIL…, blistering the listeners with haunting atmospheric songs, inspired by the Biblical book of Job. Focused on themes of suffering and pain, the band combined epic symphonic elements with blackened metallic riffs of the coldest order. Later that year saw the release of the band's first full length release, "The Season of Death", hailed as one of Christian Metalheads International's top 10 albums of 2017. The album expanded more on the ideas of pain and suffering, with band leader PATHØS offering thoughtful, almost poetic lyrical ideas.
2018 came to pass, and the band offered up 2 new songs to the split independent release, "The Body of Christ". These songs displayed the growing maturity of the band's craft. The lyrics were darker, the music was raw and more frightening, like the slow descent of a man into madness.
2019 came to pass, and the band saw its first opportunity to bring it's brand of Rusted Blackened Death Metal to the fields of Illinois at Audiofeed Music Festival. Appearing on the stage, covered in the mud and mire of a season of pain, as the rain came pouring down upon the tent, they beckoned to the crowd- COME SUFFER WITH US!
Now with Rottweiler Records, they have released the song, "You Shall Be As Gods", a dirge about how man has always tried to become God, only to burn in the hands of their own altar. The song displays a continuous marching forward of their sound; melancholy, and ever darker than before. Symphony of Heaven continues to march forward, through the frozen wastelands of life, to herald the call from The Almighty to all who will listen. Life is suffering, but there remains a transcendent Hope, COME SUFFER WITH US.
