Howling Giant Set Sept. 27 Release for The Space Between Worlds

With a title invoking no less than the void of the cosmos itself, The Space Between Worlds is the upcoming long-player from Nashville progressive heavy rockers Howling Giant. The nine-tracker will be their debut on Blues Funeral Recordings and marks the arrival of bassist/vocalist Sebastian Baltes alongside guitarist/vocalist Tom Polzine and drummer/vocalist Zach Wheeler, and it’s out Sept. 27. That and the artwork and the tracklisting are pretty much what’s known about the thing to this point, plus a couple guest spots, including one from ASG‘s Jason Shi. I wouldn’t expect a Howling Giant release to be lacking flair anyhow, but that’s bound not to hurt the centerpiece track.

Howling Giant make a return appearance this month at Psycho Las Vegas, and I wouldn’t be surprised if a Fall tour announcement either follows that or precedes it, as the October touring landscape begins to really take shape, and Howling Giant are building a solid reputation as a touring act. Doesn’t seem like momentum they’d want to undercut, especially with the occasion of a full-length to celebrate.

Here’s looking forward to all of it.

Howling Giant – The Space Between Worlds – September 27

The Space Between Worlds is a concept album that follows the story of a huntress who travels the infinite metaphysical worlds brought into being by the dreams of humankind. In these realms, she encounters a dream eater which threatens to unravel the fabric of reality by devouring dreamers and destroying the dimensional gateways.

With the addition of new bassist Sebastian Baltes (son of longtime ACCEPT bassist Peter Baltes) to the band, the band has expanded their already impressive vocal harmony approach with the addition of a third voice. Friend of the band Drew Harakal adds extra sonic textures to the album with his organ and synth skills. And Jason Shi of ASG appears with a guest vocal cameo on the track Ice Castle.

Highlighting the band’s tremendous musical prowess and versatility, The Space Between Worlds is a warp trail of heavy rock and roll so weird it can only be called progressive, giving space to every sonic weapon in Howling Giant’s arsenal, and all bound by the album’s central concept and the members’ towering musicianship.
