CONSTELLATIA Streams New Album

South African progressive black metal band CONSTELLATIA will be releasing its sophomore full-length, 'Magisterial Romance,' Out Now via Season of Mist! The band is now streaming the offering in its entirety!

CONSTELLATIA comments: "After what feels like aeons, we are happy to share the full stream of our second album, Magisterial Romance. We hope you enjoy our efforts and we look forward to seeing some of you next year."

Following the end of Wildernessking’s career, Keenan Oakes had to continue making music, despite the difficulties of playing in a metal band in Cape Town, South Africa. Regardless, Oakes joined forces with Crow Black Sky’s Gideon Lamprecht in 2018 to create the musical entity known as CONSTELLATIA. Taken from the word ‘constellation’, CONSTELLATIA refers to the nature of existence and the natural world, the cosmos, and extracting meaning and happiness from it all. The band’s somber take on progressive black metal encapsulates inherently human subjects; a distillation of life’s meander, sadness and tribulations.

Inspired by artists such as Opeth, Mastodon, The Cure, Primordial, Neurosis, Wolves in the Throne Room, Pink Floyd, Beach House, Agalloch, Emperor and Cult of Luna, Constellatia imbue their stark musical landscape with ferocity and reverie. Following the release of their debut record via Isolation Records in 2019, The Language of Limbs, CONSTELLATIA was very quick to garner the attention of listeners around the world, leading to their acknowledgement and subsequent signing to the large, independent record label, Season of Mist. While The Language of Limbs sounds bleak and tends to instill a sense of longing within the listener, it too sparks an idyllic feeling of catharsis with the mesmerizing atmospheric soundscapes and subtle intoxicating harmonies.

Now with Season of Mist’s support moving forward with their sophomore record, CONSTELLATIA have the footing and foundation to fully expand on their musical endeavours. The new album which is set to release on November the 11th 2022, shows CONSTELLATIA continuing to evolve on their already mature sound, creating these larger-than-life romantic compositions that express the emotional spectrum of simply being; an amorphous progressive metal experience enriched with lavish ambiance and ripe with spirit, unique to them alone.
From the very start, the goal with CONSTELLATIA was to create emotionally dense and textured metal that is both transcendent and incredibly human. With the release of their upcoming record later this year, CONSTELLATIA will reveal just how much more dynamic and vulnerable their music has become. It may seem that the band is now hitting their stride, but they have only just begun. Plans are being made to tour the many corners of the world in support of their new album and subsequent releases.

To love
The wheels of this great turning
Dispel the grey aura you’ve known
Deepen the joy, stars aglow

CONSTELLATIA Premieres Music Video for New Single, "Paean Emerging"

South African progressive black metal band CONSTELLATIA will be releasing its sophomore full-length, 'Magisterial Romance,' on November 11, 2022 via Season of Mist! The band is now revealing a stunning new music video for the brand new song, "Paean Emerging," which can be found below.

CONSTELLATIA comments, "Paean Emerging is one of our favourite songs that we’ve written so far. It takes many twists and turns and touches on a few territories that we’d like to explore further. It is the climactic, hopeful and empowering song. Visually, it’s an ode to filmmakers like Ingmar Bergman and Denis Vileneuve; our first narrative-driven music video. Come along as we venture through the Dylan Lewis Sculpture Garden."

CONSTELLATIA Releases Music Video for "Empyrean"

CONSTELLATIA vocalist and bassist Keenan Oakes explains, "I remember us wanting to write a very basic song, structurally speaking, so it takes on the verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus form; a pop song in essence. Thematically, 'Empyrean' is about obsession and ecstasy, about unrelenting passion and being consumed by it all. The bridge is a musical highlight for us as a band so far, one of the special moments from 'The Language of Limbs.' It feels good to close the chapter on this first incarnation, and to look ahead to the future and more music!"

In addition, the band will officially reveal information regarding their upcoming new full-length, on August 15, 2022! Set your reminders and stay tuned for more!

'The Language of Limbs' was originally released on November 15, 2019 and soon after, the four piece landed a worldwide record deal with Season of Mist. The pressings are available in various formats HERE.

Hailing from Cape Town, South Africa, CONSTELLATIA is the collaborative vision of Gideon Lamprecht and Keenan Oakes, founders of well-known acts CROW BLACK SKY and WILDERNESSKING respectively.

'The Language of Limbs' is essentially a post-metal record with black metal and progressive influences, and a healthy dose of ambience and atmosphere; always deeply engaging with a flair for the romantic and nostalgic. "It is a record that came from a place of desperation; a musical outlet for the years of hardship both members endured in their personal lives." Gideon Lamprecht comments. "It's an album about obsession and overcoming. It's a triumphant record." adds Keenan Oakes.

Formed in September 2018, and enlisting the talents of a few key collaborators, CONSTELLATIA soon completed work on the beautiful and emotional ride that is 'The Language of Limbs'. While the drums (Played by Lawrence Jaeger) and vocals were engineered by Daniel Thackwray at City Varsity, Cape Town, all other instruments were recorded by Lamprecht at his home studio in Glencairn, where he also mixed and mastered 'The Language of Limbs'. The album features additional and high class guest vocalists, namely Alison Rachel of HONEYMOAN and renowned singer/songwriter Lucy Kruger, and is an absolute must-have for fans of CULT OF LUNA, OPETH, PINK FLOYD or WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM.

CONSTELLATIA Drops New Music Video for "The Garden"

South African post metal band CONSTELLATIA are now releasing the brand new official music video for the song, "The Garden," which is taken from the band's latest EP, 'The Language of Limbs." The video, which was filmed in Cape Town and Johannesburg and was edited by Larissa Johnson, can be seen below.

CONSTELLATIA comments: "'The Garden' is a dirge about revisitation, and how when coming back things could possibly and most likely change. It's an end and it's a beginning. It also talks about the power struggle and helplessness that sometimes comes with being in a relationship and how that fleeting romantic landscape shifts and distorts. Musically, The Garden was the most progressive track on our debut record, and revisiting it now it's easy to see where we left off, and the subsequent evolution to our new sound, which feels like an expansion on this song, whilst treading new ground."

But there's more great news! CONSTELLATIA finalized their newest full-length album which will be released via Season of Mist. Stay tuned in for the official title and release date - all will be revealed soon!
