After the huge success of their well - received 2020 debut album, Echoes From Deep November, the melodic death/doom group FIRES IN THE DISTANCE from Connecticut, US, is all set to make a comeback in 2023. Their highly anticipated second album, Air Not Meant For Us, is scheduled for release on April 28 via Prosthetic Records. On this sophomore long - player, FIRES IN THE DISTANCE takes their musical style to new heights. They build on their base of melancholic melodies, extremely heavy guitar riffs, and complex atmospherics. Throughout the six tracks of Air Not Meant For Us, the band skillfully combines deep personal thoughts about mental health and existential themes related to the awareness of mortality. At the same time, they never forget the power of perseverance. Teaming up with Salt Lake City producer Randy Slaugh, who has worked with big names like Devin Townsend, Tesseract, and White Moth Black Butterfly, the band's main songwriter Yegor Savonin aimed to add more depth to the band's signature melodic death and doom metal sound. The addition of live orchestration with violas, violins, cellos, and piano playing turned out to be a very productive collaboration for both the band and the producer.
