The new album from Charnel Valley, will finally see the light of day on July 6th. The album maintains the bands brand of primitive Black Metal, and also incorporates a slight trace of early Finnish Death Metal, reminding one of early Belial or early Amorphis. Still recorded in the same spontaneous manner, as the bands debut, 2005s The Dark Archives, The Igneous Race features a fuller production, yet totally genuine to the concept of Black Metal.

Cold and obscure Black Metal, done the traditional way without resorting to the generic. Raw and uncompromising in its nature, Charnel Valley is a worthy addition to the strongly developing US black metal scene.
