Dutch black metal band Embraced By Darkness released its first EP, MMXXII, on 25 February via Non Serviam Records. The EP's primitive intro evolves into a progressive verse that mutates into an aggressive chorus making it a fair representation of the new album.
The four brutal and uncompromising black metal tracks lyrically focus on the destruction of the followers of the false prophet and the worship of the one and only evil lord, the prince of hell.
Embraced By Darkness on the EP: "MMXXII was chosen as the first EP because of the raw old-school energy mixed with some more modern heaviness. We felt the somewhat unorthodox mix worked well. There are also some horror elements to the music which goes together well with the titular demon the lyrics talk about".
Embraced By Darkness was formed in 2013 by Schmerz (Winter Of Sin, ex-Gheestenland, among others) on guitars, Schrat (Winter Of Sin, ex-Cantara, among others) on guitars and Mort (ex-member of Winter Of Sin and Razawr) on drums. They later recruited Vålnad on bass and Akse (ex-Adinai Sathanas) on vocals.
Embraced By Darkness plays aggressive yet melodic black metal with some death metal influences. The band aims to enter the studio soon to record their first full-length studio album, True Darkness. Listen to MMXXII right below. Link
