"Back in 2021, members of Horrendous and Crypt Sermon teamed up as The Silver to release their debut album Ward of Roses, and now, five years later, they're releasing a followup. Titled Looking Glass Hymnal Blue, the album was recorded by the band and Richie DeVon and then mixed and mastered by Damian Herring. It arrives on March 20 via Gilead Media, and pre-orders are up now."
"The first single is "Two Candles," a nine-minute trek through black metal, prog, post-rock, and maybe a little screamo that makes for a very epic first taste of this LP. Vocalist V says, "Two Candles burn, one for each face... It is a shattering of duality, a confrontation with the shadow, and a plea for union and consummation. Musically it reflects these themes-terror and longing, ecstasy and despair-ultimately reconciling the two musical 'faces' into union. Press play, and burn with me.""
