German black / death metal band Thulcandra issued fourth full-length studio album A Dying Wish on October 29th, 2021 through Napalm Records.
The outing can be streamed in its entirety via YouTube below.
Thulcandra commented: “We return with an album full of eerie cold melodies, ice-cold vibes and an over the top production by Swedish legend Dan Swanö at Unisound Studios! Within the first album in five years we celebrate the essence of pure black & death metal, adorned with more twin guitars, blast beats and filthy arrangements than ever. We celebrate the release of A Dying Wish with excessive shows and embark on a European tour to perform for all our loyal fans and supporters in the upcoming months.”
A Dying Wish was produced at Unisound Studio by Dan Swanö, as referenced. The album marked the only Thulcandra album to feature bassist Christian Kratzer, who died on August 21st, 2020 as the result of an accident.
