Red-hot black metal band Cloak are set to kick off a late summer tour commencing August 1 in Denver, CO, with Ghost Bath and Uada. Cloak are touring in support of their most recent release, Black Flame Eternal.
Regarding Black Flame Eternal’s underlying philosophy, Cloak frontman Scott Taysom states:
“All of our albums are created with a spiritual focus, dealing with how we see life, death, and everything in-between. I think the earlier records dealt more with the mysteries that surrounded delving deeper into the world of dark spirituality, whereas the new material has taken what we’ve learned and used it to move forward with force. ‘Black Flame Eternal’ is a statement of spiritual empowerment in every sense. For the first time, we want people to grasp on to this sentiment instead of keeping it completely personal within our world of Cloak. The themes and the sheer power can be felt much more within the songs that this album contains.”
“Our goal is complete spiritual liberation, which is where true power and freedom exists. We’ve reached a point in history where people are forced to pick a side or to join a team, so to speak. Cloak stands in complete opposition to this. We aim to be a giant middle finger in the face of the empty modern world.”
