Drowning the Light returns to the mouth of the abyss with Enslaved by the Cave, a 2023 EP of raw, melancholic and majestic Australian black metal. Conceived as a spiritual successor to Paradise Slaves, these four hymns twist Plato’s Allegory of the Cave into a vision of spiritual decay, false reality and mankind willingly chained before the shadows. Beneath the hostile veil of noise lies cold melody, nocturnal grandeur and the burning Black Flame. CD edition on Dark Adversary Productions. Catalogue DA180. Limited to 500 copies.
