Joining us on our album headlining tour will be our great friends and ridiculously heavy bands, After The Burial, Oceano, and Australian blackened hardcore juggernauts Justice For The Damned. We can’t wait to bring our new record to the road, and this will mark the very first leg of the Dear Desolation world tour." - Andrew Marsh The band; freshly reunited with original frontman CJ McMahon will release their fourth album later this Summer.

Watch "Return Of The Black Butterflies" video on Youtube: http://youtu.be/KVw55N9Nf68 The album was recorded, produced and mixed by the band's mastermind Saku Moilanen at Deep Noise Studios.

The album breaks a three-year silence following the band's 2014 7-inch Waelwulf. Heresiarch first emerged from the depths in 2011 with the Dark Descent Records-backed release Hammer of Intransigence. Experience the band's evolution with No Clean Singing's exclusive premiere of "Storming Upon Knaves." Listen at: http://www.nocleansinging.com/2017/05/12/an-ncs-premiere-heresiarch-storming-upon-knaves/ Dark Descent Records will release Death Ordinance July 7 on CD and digital formats. Vinyl treatment to follow. "Those who flee the hammer, shall abide the forge" Death Ordinance is set in a future ravaged by 30 years of war, global societies have collapsed into anarchic warfare between tribal bands. Following nuclear warfare and EMP's, remnants of technology are repurposed solely for conflict. Regression becomes progress as oppression and power struggle with natural law and imminent extinction. What remains of humanity struggles in the vestiges, the final lineage impotent and malformed, for the scraps of a dying world. The album documents the twilight of existence through three movements the onset as "Consecrating Fire" and concluding with "Desert of Ash". Each song is deliberate with serving a purpose compositionally as well as with the lyrical narrative. "Senses heightened, survival preceeds morality..."
 Tove Styrke is set to play a hotly anticipated UK show at Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen on June 12th.

It’s so great that I get to do this in London. Last time was such a turnout, I really can’t wait to get back. I’ve put together a new band and it sounds better than ever. It’s going to be a mix of old and new material.
