FROM NAXEN:
New NAXEN full-length album „DESCENDING INTO A DEEPER DARKNESS“ out on May 3rd, 2024 on Vendetta Records
We‘re proud to hereby announce the coming of our sophomore upcoming full-length album. On „DESCENDING INTO A DEEPER DARKNESS“ we further develop our violent and unrelenting approach to depressive black metal.
Tracklist:
1. Our Souls Shall Fall Forever
2. To Writhe In The Womb Of Night
3. A Shadow In The Fire - Pt. III (A Life Led By Loss)
4. Triumphant Tongue Of A Thousand Swords
The above mentioned songs are auditory renditions of pain, existential dread and despair through atmospheric structures, melancholic melodies, elaborated drums and bleak lyricism.
LN, NAXEN’s singer and guitarist, shares insight on „Descending Into A Deeper Darkness“:
„To me this album is a contemporary representation of this band and its growth in terms of aesthetics and capabilities. Black Metal is my beloved means to relive and release my own trauma and emotional dysregulation. As such ‚DIADD‘ presents a new approach to depressive black metal in terms of darkness, pain, sadness and despair without falling into well-known tropes and self-loathing platitudes. This band to me was always meant to represent the sound of weakness, but not to be weak in presentation. I wanted an album ending in triumph and strength to fully embrace darkness and despair.“
The album has been produced and mixed by Fabian Schulz at Sunsetter Studio and was mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. „DESCENDING INTO A DEEPER DARKNESS“ will be coming out on May 3 on Vendetta Records on vinyl, CD and cassette tape.
NAXEN are:
LN - Guitars and Vocals
SP - Bass
FH - Drums
No pre-order, a song will be presented soon, and the full album will be released on said May 3rd.
ONLY THE NIGHT KNOWS
