Brand new item, factory sealed and ready to ship fast from the U.S.

Immerse yourself in the haunting beauty and crushing intensity of Air Not Meant For Us, the 2023 sophomore album from Connecticut melodic death/doom metal band Fires in the Distance. Released through Prosthetic Records, this six-track, nearly 50-minute journey combines thunderous guitar riffs, melancholic melodies, atmospheric keyboards, and powerful orchestral arrangements.

Following their 2020 debut Echoes from Deep November, the band expands its sound with sweeping strings, emotional songwriting, and a striking balance between aggression and atmosphere. The addition of live violin, viola, and cello brings cinematic depth to the album's exploration of grief, despair, and inner turmoil.

The epic opener "Harbingers" establishes the album's dramatic intensity, followed by "Wisdom of the Falling Leaves" and the expansive "Crumbling Pillars of a Tranquil Mind." The instrumental "Adrift, Beneath the Listless Waves" offers a reflective passage before "Psalm of the Merciless" and the powerful finale "Idiopathic Despair."

Produced and mixed by Dave Kaminsky, with orchestral arrangements involving Randy Slaugh, Mac Christensen, and Yegor Savonin, Air Not Meant For Us is a deeply atmospheric listening experience.

An outstanding addition for fans of melodic death metal, doom metal, and emotionally powerful heavy music.
