Winnipeg's NOIRE Self Released EP

Winnipeg's NOIRE are pleased to announce that they will self-release their new EP, The Tracks of the Hunted on July 8th 2016. The EP is a six-track tour-de-force that melds black metal with acoustic and ambient-like stylings, resulting in a truly unique sound. The Tracks of the Hunted takes the fury and darkness of black metal and transforms it into something both beautiful and menacing at the same time. This EP demands a full and immersive listen. Piano and acoustic guitar are front and center for much of this record, weaving around a central pillar of majestic metal which draws from Enslaved and Opeth in influence while the softer moments recall Agalloch's experimentation. Broadchested chants blend with snarls and fierce guitar lines

Tracks of the Hunted will be released independently by the band on both CD and digital formats. The digital version of the album will be made available for $1 in order to spread the band's darkness to as many people as possible. The album is available for pre-order here

In addition to releasing The Tracks of the Hunted, the band will also be embarking on a two-week tour of Western Canada which will culminate in their appearance at the prestigious Armstrong Metal Festival. All dates can be found below.
