Darkend julkaisee uuden ”Viaticum”-albuminsa kesäkuussa

Italialainen black metal -yhtye Darkend julkaisee uuden ”Viaticum”-albuminsa 14. kesäkuuta Time To Kill Recordsin kautta. Kyseessä on yhtyeen viides albumi. Levyn ensimmäinen single ”An Ancient Plague Has Silently Worn Our Garments As Its Throne” on jo kuunneltavissa, löydät linkin jutun lopusta.
Yhtye kommentoi:

“The Light of Consciousness shines on a recurrent form of spiritual pestilence, contaminating the inner world and, consequentially, every shape inhabiting the outer world. When illuminated, what once operated as a form of destroying sickness mutates into a propulsive stream of elevating energy. ‘An Ancient Plague Has Silently Worn Our Garments As Its Throne’ is a haunting picturization of this process. A covenant between suffocating darkness and the radiant gleams of its sublimation, melted in an hypnotic continuum of incorporeal tension.
With lyrics and vocal lines courtesy of Animæ, the core riffs of the song has been penned by Nothingness before him and the band parted ways, while the blazing guitar solo and the harmonized melodic guitars in the middle section serve as an introduction to our new guitarist Acamar. As a circle completes, Darkend would like to dedicate this first single out of ‘Viaticum’ to Nothingness himself: to his memory and to his legacy”.
