Cloak Above Below Through Vinyl

A season of change, hibernation and inspiration fueled Cloak in creating Above, Below, & Through, the quartet’s first album for Metal Blade and their fourth overall. “Above, Below, & Through takes everything that was great about our last LP, Black Flame Eternal, and amplifies it completely, while still standing as an album of its own,” the band states. Cloak, based in Atlanta, Georgia since forming in 2013, made a conscious decision to give their new record a thematic and conceptual vibe, with lyrics and themes around liminality and duality ultimately spawning a fully realized opus.Sonically, Above, Below, & Through, tracked between January and April 2026, is the band’s most lush and massive-sounding record to date. The drums are huge but not processed sounding, the bass rumbles, and the guitar tones are full of attack and focus. Listeners will notice a big difference between this production and Cloak’s previous records.
