Boston screamo/post-hardcore band The Saddest Landscape are back with their first new album in a decade. Alone With Heaven is due out April 24 via Iodine, and produced in part by the late Steve Albini, one of the last projects he worked on before his death in 2024. They also recorded it with Jack Shirley, and it features appearances from Touché Amoré‘s Jeremy Bolm, Into It. Over It.‘s Evan Weiss, and Julien Baker. We have an exclusive “Where Angels Ascend” cloudy vinyl variant, limited to 100 copies. Pre-order yours in the BV shop.
The first single is “From Home They Run,” which you can hear below. “There are three aspects that come to mind immediately when I think of this song,” vocalist Andy Maddox says. “The first is how stoked I was when I heard Daniel’s guitar part for the middle section, it was pure melody, pure tension, and I was so thankful it was on our record. The second is I now had to add lyrics to it that succinctly expressed the essence of the part. Those of us who live with constant anxiety/depression know those almost divine moments when these issues stop for a moment and one can feel relief even though they will come again. This is that part. The third is the end section, where the bass hits come crashing in, surrounded by driving octave chords that ebb/flow like an emotional wave breaking. I could ride that part until dawn.”
