Denver, Colorado's Vale Of Pnath are one the up-and-coming bands to watch for in the technical death metal field. In 2009 the band released their self-titled debut EP via Tribunal Records. The album was very well received around the metal community, both critically and by fans. Now, in 2011, Vale Of Pnath are ready to release their first ever full-length, The Prodigal Empire via Willowtip Records.

Abigail Williams returns with their boldest and most diverse offering to date. “Walk Beyond the Dark” summarizes the band's previous experiments into one defining statement. The album deftly wields the forces of light and dark in skilled measure. Icy guitars and bleak atmospheres encircle. String accompaniments burst into rapture. Powerful guitars shift between slithering rhythms and all-out assaults. The grandiosity of the band's debut album arrives via intricate string accompaniments. The raw fury of their sophomore effort pummels. A sense of space and clarity evokes the band's third album. And the gritty darkness and progressive oddity evoke the fourth. “Walk Beyond the Dark” melds all previous efforts into an undeniable force, elevating the result to the next level. Abigail Williams take their rightful crown as the lords of American black metal. The melancholic futility of despair. Surrender to the mysterious void.
