Knifeworld have shared the tracklist for their forthcoming new album, Bottled Out Of Eden.

The new LP is scheduled for release on the 22nd of April via InsideOut Music.

Sasys frontman Kavus Torabi: “One aspect of Bottled Out Of Eden is the idea of a self-made heaven or a self-imposed hell, that agony or ecstasy are often a choice.

“I look back on the 25 years of making the kind of music I do, particularly the last six with Knifeworld and just feel so fortunate for the friendships, experiences and absolute joy it has brought.

“I wanted the album to be as much about that, a celebration of this all too fleeting life, as it is a reflection on death and its impact on those left behind in its wake.”

The tracklist for Bottled Out Of Eden is:

01. “High / Aflame”
02. “The Germ Inside”
03. “I am Lost”
04. “The Deathless”
05. “Foul temple”
06. “Vision Of The Bent Path”
07. “I Must Set Fire To Your Portrait”
08. “Lowered Into Necromancy”
09. “A Dream About A Dream”
10. “Secret Words”
