Melodic death metal trio ASTRALBORNE are set to release their sophomore full-length, Across the Aeons, via Prosthetic Records on July 28.

Across the Aeons sees the Midwest, US band dauntlessly grapple with humanity's cosmic indifference within the universe, pulling influence from philosophical cosmicism and fantasy fiction.

After their 2020 debut album, Eternity's End, introduced ASTRALBORNE as accomplished purveyors of both compellingly intricate melodicism and dexterous brutality in equal measure, Across the Aeons' creative process began immediately following their lauded first full-length release.

Across the Aeons' 12 tracks chart a journey of acceptance in the face of humankind's impermanence within a cosmic void, be it Fuzinski's bellowing promise of hell itself, "chaos, death and fire" on lead single War Vessel or interdimensional overlap on Gemini's celestial death metal pomp.

Elsewhere ASTRALBORNE team up with labelmates Steve Redmond (Foretoken, The Day of the Beast) and Yegor Savovin (Fires in the Distance) on December Flower and the resplendent mid-album instrumental Promethean Fire respectively.

ASTRALBORNE's interstellar voyage is visually brought to life in evocative fashion by Spanish artist Juanjo Castellano (The Black Dahlia Murder, Voidceremony, Coffins).

For as alone as we may be in the cosmos of ASTRALBORNE's second full-length, Across the Aeons shirks the nihilistic connotations of such a realisation, opting instead to revel in the totality of all beings and things.
