Mar de Grises Re-sign with Season of Mist

Season of Mist is proud to welcome back Mar de Grises.

Since forming in 2000, Mar de Grises have led the way for metal in South America. Inspired by their native Chile, with a cinematic vision and melodic touch, the band bring the mighty Andes, the salty Pacific Ocean, the dreaded cold of Cope Horn, metropolitan Santiago, the lush green Valdivian forests and the Atacama desert to progressive death-doom.

Mar de Grises were signed to Finland’s Firebox Records before becoming the first band from South America to join Season of Mist. The French label released the band’s latest album, 2010’s Streams Inwards. The album brought them international recognition and major tours with Sólstafir, Swallow the Sun and Saturnus, as well as festival appearances alongside Opeth, Enslaved and Katatonia. In a review of Streams Inwards, Exclaim! declared that Mar de Grises are “singularly unique while raising the bar for contemporaries, like comparably brilliant groups such as Swans or Anathema before them”.

Now, after more than a decade of silence, Mar de Grises are excited to announce that they are returning to Season of Mist, who will release the band’s long-awaited fourth album next year.

“After more than a decade of absence, we are thrilled to announce that Mar de Grises have re-signed with the legendary record label Season of Mist”, the band says. “Once again, with our new album, we are pushing the boundaries of genre. These new songs are dark and cinematic, born from the contrasts of Chile’s landscape, which stretches from the Andes to the Pacific, from the Atacama Desert to Tierra del Fuego. The wait is over. Mar de Grises are back!”.

More news about Mar de Grises fourth album is coming soon. Next week, the band are headlining Cryptic Celebration VII in Santiago, Chile ahead of opening for Opeth.
