Leaders and Titans of Symphonic Black Metal, Britain's HECATE ENTHRONED return seven years since the release of the group’s last album with a new, vicious single! “Gallery of Rotting Portraits” single is now online at all digital platforms, or watch the lyric video (created by Jack Maguire from artwork by Erskine Designs) HERE https://youtu.be/UyS7z94yEUk?si=BZWz2IUUh_CADwIt
"The single takes its name from the morbid preservation of the peat bogs, where bodies like the Lindow Man have rested for centuries,” explains bassist Dylan Hughes. “‘A Gallery of Rotting Portraits’ uses these 'pagan sacrifices' as a metaphor for obsolete devotion. It captures the jarring disconnect of unearthing a ritualized past only to find it stripped of its power. The song confronts the cold reality that while the bodies remain, the spirits and superstitions that put them there have long since rotted away, leaving us in a world devoid of its ancient magic."
