KONVENT Release Debut Studio Album ‘Puritan Masochism’
January 24th, 2020

Copenhagen, Denmark-based doom / death metal band Konvent issued their debut full-length studio album Puritan Masochism on January 24th, 2020 through Napalm Records.

The band commented: “Our debut album, Puritan Masochism, is the result of two years of hard work. During the process of the songwriting, we were inspired musically by both death, black and doom metal, as we aimed to give this album a broader sound than our demo back in 2017. The lyrics are inspired by the fight of regaining control when surrounded by chaos of different forms, which everyone may be affected by at some point in your life.”

Puritan Masochism was recorded in May 2019 with producer Lasse Ballade at Ballade Studios in Copenhagen.

The track listing is as follows:

01. ‘Puritan Masochism’
02. ‘The Eye’
03. ‘Trust’
04. ‘World of Gone’
05. ‘Bridge’
06. ‘Waste’ (feat. Tue Krebs Roikjer)
07. ‘Idle Hands’
08. ‘Ropes Pt. I’
09. ‘Ropes Pt. II’

Konvent’s line-up is as follows:

Rikke Emilie List (vocals)
Sara Helena Nørregaard (guitars)
Heidi Withington Brink (bass)
Julie Simonsen (drums)
