Official press release

Laethora, the Swedish death/grind band featuring Dark Tranquillity guitarist Niklas Sundin and members of progressive metal band The Provenance, will release their second album The Light in Which We All Burn worldwide through The End Records on April 27th, 2010.

Mastered by Peter In de Betou (Dark Funeral, Meshuggah, Hypocrisy), The Light in Which We All Burn is an epic thirteen-track album taking into account all of the members' eclectic tastes in music, featuring violent and powerful death/grind metal performed with intense passion and ferocity.

From the opening calm-before-the-storm beginning of "Ekpyrosis" to the thrashing rage of "World Deluge" and the open-chord ecstasy of "Humanae", the album truly shines in its diversity and dedication. The instrumentation is flawlessly executed with an organic and vibrant approach far from today's sterile extreme metal delivery.

"Humanae" is currently streaming on the band's MySpace page.

Sundin comments on the track: ""Humanae" is one of the more eclectic songs from the album, and it's a good representation of what we wanted to achieve. Elements from different extreme metal subgenres are blended with more progressive chord progressions, all topped off with an epic ending part that still sends shivers through our spines. Hope you'll like it, and stay tuned for more updates as the release date draws closer."
