FLAKE OF ETERNITY
Following up on 2008’s The Hand Of Tzafkiël and Glowing Lights (2009), which both had a distinct inner world approach, Flake Of Eternity is most of all a reflection on the first two entries of the trilogy and the events spawned by them, which eventually culminated in a return to the concert stage for the formation after a ten year hiatus. Taking the approach of their live shows as a point of departure, The Use Of Ashes entered the St. Temple studios with an outer world state of mind and saw the story through to its blissful conclusion.
Flake Of Eternity is available as a limited edition of 500 copies on 180 grams vinyl in picture sleeve, and a regular edition on CD in japanese style mini album cardboard sleeve. To celebrate the completion of the trilogy, there will be a deluxe edition of 100 copies in a box with the vinyl and cd version of white nights: Flake Of Eternity, a cd copy of the radio play Das Licht In Der Ferne, a 180 grams black vinyl live LP Lux In Wonderland, room for the other CDs and LPs in the white nights series, plus inserts. this handmade set available from october 9 as well.
The release date for the CD and LP is October 9, and it's available for pre-order now from our store.
