Sacrilegious and mesmerizing, Church of the Sea hails from Athens. The Greek doomgaze trio’s sound is a blend of Black Sabbath or Earth heaviness with the gothic dread of Chelsea Wolfe and DakhaBrakha.
Their upcoming album Eva will drop April 11th via These Hands Melt. In the meantime, they’ve revealed the title track, moaning with dark chants and an electronic buzzing oppression.
Vocalist Irene sings out a lyrical twist on the biblical story of Eve, from the Book of Genesis. Her powerful bellows on defiance perfectly melds with the growing, rusted electronics, mastered by Nick Townsend (Garbage, Grimes).
