Creative powerhouse and American Nightmare / Cold Cave front person Wesley Eisold announces a new hardcore project: Statue of Heaven.

Channeling the same urgency as American Nightmare and Some Girls, but with a stripped-back, colder tone, the debut LP Hung From Rope Woven By Hope is out now on Heartworm.

The album delivers seven tracks of raw, blackened hardcore, pairing minimal, poetic lyrics with musical influences drawn from 80s punk and mid-90s metallic hardcore.

The record explores sanctity and purity against the backdrop of a dystopian, existential present haunted by a moral void.

The modern world is a shrine to death
Spirit imprisoned til there’s nothing left
Disguised as progression and sold off as virtue
The prison of sadness will never desert you
