SLICE THE CAKE WANT TO TAKE YOU ON AN ODYSSEY TO THE WEST

International Deathcore unit, Slice The Cake, seemingly not satisfied with announcing their live début at UK Tech Fest next year, have set the release date and track listing for their next album. Odyssey to the West will be released March 1st 2015 and the band describes the release as:

‘…a concept album that combines a more emotionally mature approach to our songwriting with a visceral and poetic lyrical take on biblical allegory and meta-narrative, exploring themes such as archetypes, the nature of narrative itself, universal symbolism, spiritual alchemy and recurrence.’

While this sounds like something lifted from one of my University essays, I can’t help but wait in quivering excitement for March 2015 to roll around. A wait which the whopping  track list makes even harder:

1. The Exile i. The Razor’s Edge

2. The Exile ii. The City of Destruction

3. Stone and Silver i. The Mountains of Man

4. Stone and Silver ii. The Horned God

5. Stone and Silver iii. The Man of Papyrus Limbs
6. Westward Bound i. The Lantern
7. Westward Bound ii. The Pilgrim’s Progress
8. Castle in the Sky ii. The Tree of Life
9. Unending Waltz
10. From Shell to Shell
11. The Dark Carnival
12. The Man of Ash and Rust i. The Torn Thread
13. The Man of Ash and Rust ii. Nameless, Faceless

14. Destiny’s Fool
15. The Holy Mountain

The trio’s last release, The Man With No Face, proved that there was still much that could be done with the old Deathcore formula and Odyssey to the West has the potential to build on that success.

Slice The Cake will release Odyssey to the West on March 1st next year through Subliminal Groove Records.
