'The Loss of Beauty' is Shores Of Null’s fourth album and follows the acclaimed 'Beyond The Shores (On Death And Dying)', unanimously considered by fans and critics as one of the Doom Metal gems of recent years. Both albums were recorded between 2019 and early 2020, and although 'The Loss of Beauty' was initially conceived as the band’s third album, ‘Beyond The Shores’ took its place as it better reflected the doom and gloom sentiment of the "annus horribilis" 2020.
Across 11 tracks (plus two bonus tracks), Shores Of Null once again submerges listeners with tempestuous and turbulent riffs. The band continues to hone its sound and take its melancholic dark metal to new heights by mastering an assorted palette of genres with inbred poignancy. The lyrics celebrate beauty in imperfection and transience and are meant to be an invitation to seek beauty in little things, especially those unexpected and ephemeral.
Tracklist reads as follows:
01. Transitory
02. Destination Woe
03. The Last Flower
04. Darkness Won't Take Me
05. Nothing Left To Burn
06. Old Scars
07. The First Son
08. A Nature In Disguise
09. My Darkest Years
10. Fading As One
11. A New Death Is Born Bonus Tracks (CD and digital only)
12. Underwater Oddity
13. Blazing Sunlight
The quintet of Shores of Null will be releasing singles over the following months to entice listeners further and have plans for a European tour to support the release. 'The Loss of Beauty' has been shielded from the outside world until today, and it will finally see the light of day on 24th March 2023 via Spikerot Records. Recorded by Marco "Cinghio" Mastrobuono at Kick Recording Studio (Hour Of Penance, Inno, Fleshgod Apocalypse). Cover artwork by Sabrina Caramanico.
'The Loss of Beauty' is dark and heavy, tinged with feelings of despair and melancholy. It is recommended for fans of Amorphs, Enslaved, and Paradise Lost.
