Today, Amor Fati Productions
sets April 24th as the international release date for a brand-new EP from Silver Knife, Ring, on digipack CD and 12"
vinyl formats.
Silver Knife are a
Belgian/Dutch/French black metal entity driven by an aggressive melancholy, and
the band made their full-length debut in 2020 with the release of Unyielding/Unseeing via Amor Fati. Immersive and ominously
inviting, Unyielding/Unseeing comprised
six songs that embodied both a reminiscence and departure from the musical
styles the musicians have exhibited through bands like Cult of Erinyes,
Hypothermia, Laster, and Nusquama. Truly, Silver
Knife made a name for themselves with the album.
Now, on the eve of their first public performance at the esteemed Roadburn
Festival on April 23rd, Silver Knife return
with a swift-and-satisfying EP titled Ring, recorded
during the Unyielding/Unseeing sessions
but always intended to be released later as its own stand-alone recording.
Comprising two songs that are each nearly seven minutes in length, Ring sounds impossibly vast
given its truncated runtime, and therein lies the magick of Silver Knife: the collective
open vistas of the imagination when and where we least expect it. Again, their
balance between a bittersweet, glimmering atmosphere and sheer force is a thing
of wonder; Ring in particular sounds
HUGE, and always teetering on the ledge of catharsis vs. collapse. Cover
and tracklisting are as follows:
