about the album
Anchor and Burden go maritime.
After chronicling the downfall of mankind and wandering through its irradiated ruins on EXTINCTION LEVEL and AFTERGLOW, Anchor and Burden now descend into the depths with SUNKEN FLEET — an underwater odyssey through drowned wreckage, bioluminescent lifeforms, and spectral echoes of the past.
Ghostly, mutated beings drift silently through flooded reactor rooms and corroded crew quarters of once-mighty warships and trade vessels. Rusting steel now provides shelter for those who hide from far more terrifying predators lurking in the pitch-black abyss.
Musically, SUNKEN FLEET ebbs and flows like the tide: hypnotic basslines rise and swell, while drifting leads and shimmering soundscapes glide through vast subaquatic realms.
Organic and electronic drums perform a curved ballet with the guitars, weaving through polyrhythmic waves like water flowing through the engines of sinking ships.
The result is an immersive sound journey — dark, dreamlike, and hauntingly beautiful.
Dive into the deep. Discover the SUNKEN FLEET beneath.
