Post-Metal outfit Drownship has just dropped their brand new track and video “Where the Flood Springs,” which serves as the first single from the band’s forthcoming debut album “Tidal Passages.” The album is set for release on November 08, 2024 via These Hands Melt. The accompanying music video was directed and edited by Floris Lange van Ravenswaay, with filming by Gabriela Ługin & Susanne Schneider.
The band comments about the track: “‘Where the Flood Springs’ has likely become the most personal song on ‘Tidal Passages’ in terms of lyrics. Trapped in the struggle with the depths of the self, it sometimes pulls us down. Dive with us into fear, pain, and the depths of the human psyche.“

Hailing from Hamburg, Germany, Drownship emerged onto the Post-Metal scene in 2018 as a quintet comprising talented members from esteemed bands like Ophis, Todtgelichter and Caleya.
Their musical prowess and distinctive style quickly garnered attention, culminating in the successful release of their EP “A Dirge To a Carrion Heart” in 2021 via Moment Of Collapse Records and Bloodblast Distribution, receiving acclaim from press and audiences alike.
Following electrifying live shows alongside acts like Thronehammer, Evoken, The Moth and Ok Wait, Drownship ventured into the studio in February 2023 to craft their debut album, “Tidal Passages.” Working with producer David Deutsch from 1408 Productions and mastering expert Nikita Kamprad of Der Weg Einer Freiheit, the band ensured a sonically immersive journey for listeners. Complementing their musical prowess, the visually captivating artwork for both the EP and album was brought to life by Irrwisch Artdesign, providing a poignant visual narrative to accompany the band’s sound.
Drownship‘s musical essence intertwines Heavy and Progressive elements, complemented by a dynamic spectrum of screams and melodic vocals. The band’s evocative name, a fusion of “drowning” and “fellowship,” serves as a fitting prelude to their lyrical exploration of societal collapse, its reverberations, and the intricate inner struggles faced by every individual.
“Tidal Passages” will be coming out November 08, 2024 on Vinyl/CD/Digital via These Hands Melt and is now available for Pre-Order via Bandcamp or the label’s Webshop.
