  • 
  We have collaborated with Seth Rodgers again to beautifully Illustrate a new comic book as our Physical format. This is chapter 4 and a sister album to Wormwood III ( Chapter 3 Comic to be released later this year ). They are meant to be played together.
  
  This new physical format will be ethically sourced from natural, hand made, and recycled materials. We will NOT be pressing vinyl for this release or any albums going forward until there is an ethical and recyclable option. We constantly strive to lessen our impact on the environment and make our existence a positive impact on the world. Hand numbered and limited to 200 copies of the first edition. Signed and hand numbered.
  
  Some words about the new album from Young Epoch ( David Zeidler ):
  
  Continuing their tireless search for the crossroads of art and ethics, Staghorn return with the fourth chapter in their sweeping tale of ecological crisis, dire consequence and faintly but persistently glimmering hope. In largely moving away from the tropes of modern post-rock, Staghorn in many ways grow more akin to the original, more nebulous definitions of the form. Operating within a genre often driven by twinkling, reverb-drenched guitars and extended build-and-release formula, Corvus IV is as sonically subversive as it is ideologically direct, delivering an experience that has a clear and powerful destination bolstered by a compellingly dynamic and often surprising pathway for arriving there.
  Noticeably darker and heavier than previous efforts, Corvus IV finds itself more often entering into metal territories than it does post-rock. Building forth from a canvas streaked with elements of doom, black metal and screamo, Staghorn have composed 26 minutes of music that seamlessly weaves their many influences into an immersive experience that uniquely represents their full artistic aesthetic. With their use of albums-spanning narrative and front-and-center ethical concerns, Staghorn wield a power that is rarely found in modern music – utter singularity.
  Rising from the sludgy depths of the shadowy album-opener “Torch,” Corvus IV establishes a foreboding tone as it sets up the initially pensive but increasingly formidable “Lux,” which moves through the dark dreaminess of its early moments into a sequence of increasingly explosive outpourings which showcase their ability to embrace aggressive means while the passions at their core remain unbowed. It is this duality that is key to their success: acknowledging the darkness in their pursuit of the light, they are capable of being overwhelming without being oppressive, of vigorously shaking the listener at the same time as they are guiding them toward a resolution. There are echoes of black metal methods as “Lux” charges through its second half, but without the nihilism that often colors that style; it isn’t an easy road that Staghorn travel, but the journey’s end is characterized by a spirit that proves re-energizing.
  “Rahula” brings the listener back to more solemn territory, with vocals by Drew Speziale (Circle Takes the Square) that greatly enhance the sense of urgency and import that drive this penultimate track with a desperation that proves essential leading into Corvus IV’s finale, the slow-burning and contemplative “Samsara.” Accounting for half of the album’s running time, the closing track patiently moves through carefully unwinding passageways, never relinquishing the sense of being a dramatic final approach, skillfully balancing a sense of unease with ever-building anticipation. Corvus IV sees Staghorn building upon the successes of their previous works while bringing exciting new elements into the fold, a bold and fresh statement in a saga that continues to provide one of the most consistently compelling and unique experiences in modern post-rock music.
