Filth in the Light

Last August, we played our first shows after a year of silence. We want to thank Laster and Slakkengang for a healthy return. As we slowly crawl to the end of the last song before we enter the studio, we have been asked for three shows at the end of November.

On Friday the 21st, we will salute the passing of Mondvolland in Arnhem.

Saturday the 22nd, we will play our first Belgian show in a church in the center of Antwerp. Safe to say, we are curious.

We will be joined by amazing Belgian newcomers Drawn into Descent , up-and-coming blackmetalincrowdfest Wiegedood and Southern Lord favourites Hessian

Sunday the 23rd, we will round the tour up with a show in one of our favourite venues in the Netherlands, De Onderbroek. The last time we played there, we were still called Liar Liar Cross On Fire and 3/5th of the current band played in far worse bands. We will play with Deer in the Headlights, who are a Bosnian screamo band with an intensity and rage not unlike ours.

During this tour, at least two new songs will be performed, possibly three, and we will bring the last 12"s of the EP with us. 

Regarding the split 10"s, the first three installments of Elemental Nightmares have been released according to plan, and they sound amazing. This will also mean that our release will see the light of day December 25th. Hail Mithras. 

My Spine Will Be My Noose

As mentioned last time, we will be performing in Tilburg on Saterday the 30th. Joining us will be Slakkengang, a noise/black duo that has been working its way through the scene. They will play a 15-minute set, but that will be more than enough.

During this show, we will finally play two new songs, one of which, 'Absence', has been the bane of this band for over two years. As said before, we are slow and picky writers.

Later this year, recording will take place, but it feels good to mention that we will have one release out this year anyway. We are part of the Elemental Nightmares 10"-series, with bands and friends like Mondvolland, Wildernessking and VUYVR. On Mithras' day, our four-way split with Hyperial, Parasitized and Waning will be released. The song on this 10" is a one-off, and it will never be released again in any form. You can still sign-up for this compilation, which has stunning artwork. Every 10" will feature 1/7th of a huge, encompassing piece of craft. The first one has already been released, with Wildernessking and Oak Pantheon, a.o. Especially those two songs are worth the listen. Check Elemental Nightmare's bandcamp.

Temptation V - Neglect

For the past six months, we have been rehearsing, writing and overall thinking about what will happen.

At the end of this month, we will play our first show in a year's time.

It is a reacquaintance, a welcoming and an introduction of new members and new material. Two new songs will be performed. We are joined by our friends of Laster, the latest addition to the Utrecht-roster of black metal occultists.

Adding to that, we are saluting the works of Mondvolland and their farewell in Arnhem the 21st of November. They were the Dutch equivalent of Winterfylleth, but with better records overall. 

More news to follow soon.
