The Polish prog band Votum recently released their new album“:Ktonik:” through Inner Wound Recordings. The track ‘Vertical’ is currently streaming at YouTube. The song can also be streamed below.
The album was mixed by David Castillo at Ghost Ward [Katatonia, Opeth, Bloodbath] and mastered by Tony Lindgren at Fascination Street Studios [Paradise Lost, Kreator, Leprous].
Votum combines dark and vibrant atmosphere with metal traditions, bringing both force and ambience to play. The band is no stranger to musical diversity with subtle cinematic frailty and modern electronica. Dealing in powerful guitars and acoustic ballads Votum creates a very specific blend of fresh and unusual approach to progressive rock and metal.
“:Ktonik:” was recorded and mixed by David Castillo at Ghost Ward [Katatonia, Opeth, Bloodbath].
