The USA-based black metal collective Nixil has announced its signing with Prosthetic Records; the band's sophomore album, From The Wound Spilled Forth Fire, is set for release on 25 August. Alongside the signing and album announcement, Nixil unveiled its lead single, "Collapsing The Poles", accompanied by a video. "Collapsing The Poles" serves as an introduction to From The Wound Spilled Forth Fire's spiritual themes of liberation through abyssal exploration.
Speaking on the album announcement, Nixil comments: "From The Wound Spilled Forth Fire is the manifestation of the will of five individuals in collaboration, clawing toward catharsis and escape from the oppressive grasp of this rotting society. It is about finding power through adversity and the increase of spirit that can be gained through the intentional death of what our feeble human minds perceive as 'Self'. It is also a magickal act, containing hymns of rebellion and strength in honor of the teachers and muses along the ever-winding path toward liberation".
On the new single, the band adds: "'Collapsing The Poles' is our siren song, heralding the breaking of the chains of demiurgic oppression through the recognition and eradication of the restrictive tendencies within the self (microcosm), allowing for the advancement of adversarial energy outward toward the seemingly unshakably oppressive forces of That Which Is (macrocosm). It is also an invocation of Void, creating a sacred space for all that which we seek to put out into the world, and a reminder that even in the moments where it seems unreachable, freedom is always worth fighting for".
