YTB: https://youtu.be/Aplq1hyS3ZQ

Autumn Strife is defined by a triumphant yet profoundly melancholic aesthetic deeply rooted in the American Midwest. Channels the spirit and harsh realities of Midwestern life, Autumn Strife weaving together themes of kin, land, and austere seasonal shifts. Musically, their style fluctuates between searing, aggressive "solar blitzkriegs" and slower, introspective passages that evoke the vastness of autumnal pastures. Driven by daring songwriting and prominent, melodic basslines, Autumn Strife captures the quiet grit, regional pride, and natural splendor of the Midwest, transforming local identity into a compelling and emotional sonic landscape.

Following their debut, the sophomore album Prosperity expands on their established sound by leaning into themes of triumph and regional flourishing. While still anchored in traditional black metal roots, this record introduces a more uplifting and triumphant atmosphere, featuring standout anthems like "Adoration" and "Find Purpose." Prosperity acts as the thematic bridge in their discography, shifting the focus from mere survival to the celebration of growth, resilience-born success, and the quiet dignity found in the agrarian and industrial landscapes of the Midwest.

After the sold out vinyl and cassette edition, now Prosperity is available for the first time on jewel case for the working class!
