Canadian black metal cult Nocturnal Departure reveals the new track "Ceremonial Storm". The track is the first to be revealed from the band's upcoming third album, Clandestine Theurgy, which will see release later this year via Hells Headbangers.
Almost literally a band out of time, Nocturnal Departure harken to the grim days of the '90s black metal underground, particularly its most devout sectors in the United States. While once the object of mockery from the ignorant despite featuring some of the most original and unorthodox outliers, it's USBM that has the last laugh, as the idiom has developed over the decades and still rings true in the darkest of hearts. Nocturnal Departure encapsulate this mood and era in its most perfect, poignant form on Clandestine Theurgy. Featuring gloriously macabre cover art created by Abomination Hammer, indeed, its title is something of a rallying cry for such hearts - "those who know, know," as the adage goes - and its raw, desperate violence evinces elements of Judas Iscariot, Masochist, Black Funeral, Summon, and Blood Storm but undeniably with a personality all its own.
"We are gratuitous in this moment", states the band, "sharing a glimpse into what we have all worked so passionately on as a group over the last couple of years. Our dormant slumber has ended, and we have returned with an igneous rage and inspiration! We are honored to be working with Hells Headbangers, and for all that this unholy pact yields for us together. Prepare for Clandestine Theurgy under demonic winter moons, 2022/2023."
Release date, cover, and tracklisting for Clandestine Theurgy to be revealed shortly. In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "Ceremonial Storm" below. Link
