Taken from the album "Ethereal Horizons", out on November 28th 2025.

"Ethereal Horizons" incorporates otherworldliness from all eras of BAN - traces of churning dissonance, subtle industrialised elements, the weeping of celestial leads, V's spectral & subliminal snarl - but brings in a suite of new and more grounded feels too. Far-reaching melodic themes turn inward and outward, frequently resolving into the swing of classic, prog and post rock. The warmth of swirling psych-organ and expanses of kosmische synth provide a bed for emotive themes to build and release into full-throttle ruthlessness. Vocal stylings are wide-ranging as ever, utilising the distinctive cloudbusting cleans and choirs, but this time with a lazer-focus on wistful transcendent melodies, refrains and even out-and-out hooks.

Oh this is nice! I haven't listened to much of the newer BAN stuff since the 777 trilogy and I like this.

There have been several epically dissonant releases since the trilogy. I like the samples from BaN's new album too. It's reminiscent of their more melodic work but set within their newer soundscapes and production. The song below sounds to me like early Cure if they were a brutal metal band. ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿซ
