New album, “Dreadful Waters”, out on January 23rd!
German symphonic metal collective CORONATUS proudly announce their upcoming studio album “Dreadful Waters”, a dark and ambitious exploration of the mysteries, dangers, and mythic forces of the sea.
For CORONATUS water becomes a symbol of all that is deep, unseen, dangerous, and awe-inspiring. While the previous album “Atmosphere” focused on threats in the “airy” realm, “Dreadful Waters” shifts the narrative toward oceans and seas: environments rich in myth, peril, and emotional metaphor.
Musically, the band once again offer an expansive spectrum of styles: symphonic metal as the foundation, enriched by folk elements, dramatic orchestrations, and experimental touches that have become a trademark of the CORONATUS sound.
The songwriting comes not only from drummer and founder Mats Kurth, but also from vocalist Nemesis and guitarist Harry Zeidler, widening the creative scope of the album.
“Dreadful Waters” was produced by Markus Stock and Mats Kurth at Klangschmiede Studio E, where Stock also handled mixing and mastering. His signature depth and clarity amplify the album’s dark maritime atmosphere.
The cover artwork, created by Michael Krebes, visually captures the album’s descent into the unknown, merging mysticism, danger, and the elemental force of water.
