Dark, desperate, and emotional post-black metal from Sweden, Together to the Stars creates music that explores the faults in our human nature and how we cope with them. Initially a duo project, the band has now grown into a full lineup, ready to deliver powerful live performances and intricate recordings.
The Fragile Silence, the band’s third album, comes after four years of perfecting their sound. It represents a significant step up in every way from their previous releases, featuring more intricate, diverse, and powerful songwriting, improved production, and real recordings of previously unfeatured instruments like the violin and French horn. The thematic concept remains rooted in their exploration of human despair and resilience but is approached from a more mature perspective. The album delves into accepting the broken world around us and contemplating what actions we should take in response. It will come out on September 6th via Northern Silence Productions.
