Out now globally via Temple Of Torturous, All Is Left To See is MOLOKEN’s first studio offering in four years. Recorded mostly live by Pelle Henriksson at Tonteknik Recording (Refused, Breach, Cult Of Luna, Meshuggah, Entombed), the record boasts thirty corrosive minutes of some of the band’s most eclectic, engrossing and traumatizing compositions to date and includes the stark and twisted cover renderings of Costin Chioreanu (Bloodbath, Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Ulver etc). A monolithic wall of dread and despair shrouded in sulfuric atmospheres and an overwhelming sentiment of desolation, MOLOKEN’s All Is Left To See centers itself around a lyrical concept called mörkrets kärna (Swedish for “darkness core”), and serves as a veritable soundtrack to falling into a pit of misery, depression and paranoia, dragging down loved ones and trying desperately to make sense of it all.

All Is Left To See is available for purchase on CD and digitally HERE.

“It’s a lot of variety for the first half of a short record, and it gets even more unconventional from there, melancholy xylophone and strings emerging from the muck. It’s almost like a full album of Cult Of Luna segues.” – Decibel Magazine

“If you feel as if life and your situation is quite depressing, the music that these Swedes have made should further reinforce that.” – New Noise Magazine

“All Is Left To See will make your hair stand on end.” – Skulls N Bones
