Fuath release new song 2021-01-20 by Fernando Alves STAFF | 5 Comments | Fuath, the atmospheric black metal offshoot of Saor’s Andy Marshall, is now premiering the brand new song 'Prophecies'. The track is taken from the upcoming full length II, which will be released via Season of Mist Underground Activists on March 19th, 2021.
Originally slated as a one-off project after the release of 2016’s I, Marshall has decided to turn Fuath into a serious project.
Watch the official music video for 'Prophecies' below.
The press release goes as follows:
Written during the winter of 2019 and then recorded in August and September 2020 at Fortriu Studios in Scotland, 'II' features Marshall handling vocals and all instrumentation except for drums, which were performed by Carlos Vivas in Spain. Whereas 'I' dutifully remained within the boundaries of conventional black metal, 'II' finds the songs going further into the frozen plains with elaborate doses of melody, ominous riffing and hypnotic blast-beat sections. 'II' marks a huge progression for Fuath from 'I'. When writing the debut album, Marshall was treading FUATH as a side-project and didn’t have a formalized idea of how he wanted it to sound. In contrast, 'II' is an improvement across the board with better-crafted songs, sharper black metal vocals from Marshall and enhanced production values.
In contrast to SAOR’s lyrics about Scottish heritage and history, Marshall has decided to keep FUATH's lyrics behind a veil of secrecy and will not be released along with the album. It’s another throwback to black metal of the 1990s when its core constituents were dark and evasive in both presentation and their lyrics. However, song titles such as "The Pyre, "Into the Forest of Shadows" and "Endless Winter" do, at least, give a glimpse into Marshall’s headspace — they leave plenty to the imagination, especially in the context of the cold and wintry landscape depicted on the album’s cover art.
Tracklist:
1. Prophecies (09:28)
2. The Pyre (06:51)
3. Into the Forest of Shadows (06:23)
4. Essence (09:26)
5. Endless Winter (09:23)

i'll have to give a dedicated listen but it didn't jump out at me
| | | it's pretty good. the guitar work is a bit more involved than on the last album, but it's not exactly mindblowing either.
| | | I am sooo hyped now. Very catchy, excellent songwriting, production is superb. I love Fuath. Don't really care for Saor though.
| | | The weakest Saor album easily outshines Fuath's debut. I hope this one is an improvement.
