News: AUSTERE reissue early albums in the artbook collection „Towards the Great Unknown“

Before AUSTERE release a new album, the veteran depressive black metal duo from Wollongong in Australia’s east coast state New South Wales will offer their complete catalogue of cult recordings as an essential anthology. Entitled „Towards The Great Unknown“, this must-have collection comes in the beautiful shape of a 36-page, 4CD artbook and will be released on August 26, 2022.

„Towards The Great Unknown“ includes AUSTERE’s debut album „Withering Illusions and Desolation“ (2007), the band’s contributions to the split-releases „Only the Wind Remembers / Ending the Circle of Life“ (with LYRINX, 2008) and „Bleak…“ (with ISOLATION, 2008) as well as the Australian’s sophomore album „To Lay like Old Ashes“ (2009). Previously unreleased material is added on a bonus CD that contains the two re-imagined tracks ‚This Dreadful Emptiness‘ and ‚Unending Night‘, which were produced by AUSTERE at Équinoxe Studios, Wollongong.
