Debut caladan brood album out now

U.S. Epic / Atmospheric Black Metal band Caladan Brood are due to release their debut full length album today, titled "Echoes of Battle". The album is to be released through German label Northern Silence Productions.

The complete tracklist for the album is as follows:

1. City of Azure Fire
2. Echoes of Battle
3. Wild Autumn Wind
4. To Walk the Ashes of Dead Empires
5. A Voice Born of Stone and Dust
6. Book of the Fallen

The band was formed in 2008 in Salt Lake City, Utah, taking their name from a character in the Malazan Book of the Fallen fantasy novels written by Steven Erikson. Similar concepts were explored by Austrian Epic / Atmospheric Black Metal pioneers Summoning and their inspiration from Tolkien's themes, although the label promises that Caladan Brood are by no means a copycat band.
