2023 release. Following the release of their acclaimed 2020 debut album, Echoes From Deep November, Connecticut, US melodic death / doom group Fires in the Distance return with their sophomore album, Air Not Meant For Us. On their second long player, Fires in the Distance further expand on their musical foundations of wistful melodicism, crushingly heavy guitar work and intricate atmospherics. Across Air Not Meant For Us' six tracks, Fires in the Distance tie together intensely personal ruminations on mental health and themes of existentialism in the form of mortality salience, without losing sight of the importance of perseverance.
