| Description: | On their fourth album ??Part Island? Latitudes weave emotive metallic power and dream-state vulnerability - summoning a new level of melodicism through cast-iron, heartfelt songcraft. Foregrounding vocals on every album track for the first time in the band??s 12 years, ??Part Island? is a dynamic collection unashamedly brim-filled with sadness and regret. Helmed by a performance of sheer naked honesty from vocalist Adam Symonds, the record incorporates acoustic guitar, piano and analogue synth within flowing volleys of melodic black metal, weighty contemplative doom and the wide-ranging wistfulness of indie, folk and shoegaze songwriting. Political and personal, concerned with the mysteries of love and islands literal and self-created, this is a record about dissolution, leaving, reaching an end without ever truly knowing why. - 6-panel digipak. First batch comes in black polycarbonate CD.
Produced at Skyhammer Studio, April/July 2018.
Piano recorded/performed at the White Room, July 2018.
Mastered at Audiosiege, August 2018.
"In memory of Christine Ann Blyth" "Part Island" is a CD release by the British band Latitudes, issued through the independent label Debemur Morti Productions. Musically, the album unfolds as an atmospheric, multi-layered journey that blends elements of progressive metal, post-metal and doom with an almost cinematic sense of dynamics. Long-form compositions build from fragile, melancholic passages into powerful, cathartic climaxes, with guitars and textures interweaving into dense, emotionally charged soundscapes. The production emphasizes clarity and depth, allowing every nuance - from subtle ambient details to massive riffs - to breathe and resonate. "Part Island" is ideal for listeners who appreciate immersive, introspective heavy music that rewards attentive and repeated listening.
