Profound Lore Records has unveiled On The Promise Of The Moon, the second full-length from Reeking Aura.

Formed by current and former members of Grey Skies Fallen, Buckshot Facelift, Thætas, Afterbirth, Trog, Artificial Brain, and others, Reeking Aura blends immersive atmospheres with technical precision and infectious melodies atop a foundation of East Coast brutal death metal.

The album features returning members guitarists Terrell Grannum (Thætas) and Rick Habeeb (Grey Skies Fallen, Buckshot Facelift), along with vocalist William Smith (Afterbirth, Buckshot Facelift, ex-Artificial Brain).

New additions drummer Hudson Barth (Trog) and bassist TJ Coon (Trog, Sentient Horror) contribute to the writing process.

Tracked at OK Recording Studios in Kinderhook, New York, the album was mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö (Bloodbath, Edge Of Sanity, Grey Skies Fallen).

It includes guest appearances from vocalists Eston Browne (Vulnificus) and Jon Berg (The Path), with string arrangements by Ben Karas (Slaughtersun).

The cover art is provided by Moldovan painter Ion Carchelan.

On the lead single "What Only Worms Witness", Smith explains: ""Lyrically, 'What Only Worms Witness' is a contrasting depiction of both the ugliness of physical death and the melancholy optimism of enduring legacy."" Reeking Aura's dedication to brutal New York death metal combined with dark melodies and atmosphere shines through in On The Promise Of The Moon.
