HECATE ENTHRONED: 'History In Chaos' Box Set To Be Released In October

August 15, 2008

UK black metal veterans HECATE ENTHRONED will release a box set featuring their entire back catalogue in October through Blackend/Candlelight Records. Entitlted "History in Chaos", the box set will be a very special insight into the band's 14-year history, featuring all five studio albums and a DVD. The package will contain an exclusive new booklet and the first 100 copies will be signed by the band. There will also be secret online content which will be made available on release day (handled by Ultima Media Group). More information will be available shortly.

HECATE ENTHRONED is currently working on its new full-length album at an undisclosed location in Cheshire, UK. The group's first release since 2004's "Redimus" coincides with a major new publishing deal with former Warner Chapell Music publishing head Jana Yell as well as plans for a massive European and U.S. tour.

"All recording, producing, engineering and mastering will be done by the band at our own studio," HECATE ENTHRONED bassist Dylan Hughes previously said in a statement released to BLABBERMOUTH.NET. "We had a more hands-on approach with the recording process of the last album 'Redimus' and after that, felt it was the way to go for us. We all have a lot of years experience behind us and know exactly how the band should sound and be able to create that on a release. The new material is very much guitar-driven, lots of heavy and fast riffs (tuned to C#) giving a relentless feeling to the tracks which we have tempered with a big orchestral sound. The choirs and orchestras have always been a big part of the sound with HECATE and that is very true with this material. In some parts it recaptures some of the moods from the very early releases. Because of the fact we are recording ourselves we arnt pressured too much by time constraints and can spend more time on getting the right sound and mix as we feel in the past we have had to sacrifice certain things to reach a recording deadline. Due to this we will be taking longer than we have in the past but feel it will be worth it. And also feel due to the strength of this material it deserves the time spent on it."

HECATE ENTHRONED has confirmed that the upcoming CD will NOT be issued through Candlelight/Blackend, which handled the band's last release. The group's new label home has not yet been announced.
