MUMBAI: This past summer, Italian melodic death-doom force Shores of Null performed a somber and poetic set at one of Europe's largest metal festivals Hellfest Open Air (Temple Stage) in Clisson, France. They captured the full set and have partnered up with Thunderflix to showcase the performance in its entirety.
Today, they unveil their third clip from the festival for fans to watch for the track "Darkness Won't Take Me" off their latest and fourth record “The Loss of Beauty” released on Spikerot Records during March 2023.
Vocalist Davide Straccione adds:
"This is the third and last excerpt made available on our YouTube Channel from one of the coolest experiences we had as a band so far. Hellfest was a blast, and we're happy to relive those moments sharing them with our fans."

Shores of Null's delivered a powerful performance at Hellfest in France this past summer as part of the band's extensive touring in support of their new album "The Loss of Beauty". This fourth album follows the acclaimed “Beyond The Shores (On Death And Dying)”, unanimously considered by fans and critics as one of the doom-metal gems of recent years. Both albums were recorded between 2019 and early 2020, and although "The Loss of Beauty" was initially conceived as the band’s third album, ‘Beyond The Shores’ took its place as it better reflected the doom and gloom sentiment of the 'annus horribilis' 2020.
Across 11 tracks (plus two bonus tracks), Shores Of Null once again submerges listeners with tempestuous and turbulent riffs. The band continues to hone its sound and take its melancholic dark metal to new heights by mastering an assorted palette of genres with inbred poignancy. The lyrics celebrate beauty in imperfection and transience and are meant to be an invitation to seek beauty in little things, especially those unexpected and ephemeral.
Dark and heavy, tinged with feelings of despair, “The Loss Of Beauty” was released on March 24th, 2023, and recommended for fans of Swallow The Sun, Borknagar, and Paradise Lost.
