Polish black metallers Teufelsberg has just unleashed the second track, "Gospel Of Diabolical Freedom", from its upcoming sophomore album, Pakt mit dem Teufel, set for release on 31 October via Signal Rex.
Since its ascent with the Ancient Darkness demo in 2020, Teufelsberg has stood against the modern world - and the modern black metal underground. Using noble Polish roots as an unshakable aesthetic foundation, the band lits fires for the olden days with each successive recording, culminating in a covenant with Signal Rex and its debut album, Ordre du Diable, during the early half of 2022.
Keeping those fires blazing brightly and blacker than ever, Teufelsberg returns with its second full-length, Pakt mit dem Teufel. As cold and grim as ever, the band here spelunk among corridors rich in the treasures of pre-internet black metal, integrating not only their ancient Polish idiom but also contemporaneous Nordic and Hellenic ones. In a sense, there's a sense of deja vu...initially, as the deeper one dives among Teufelsberg's treasures, the more those jewels shimmer in a manner uniquely the band's own. As ever, the horde's raw yet clear tones and attendant execution are superlative for its defiance against prevailing trends, and the full might of its mysticism is felt every second of this six-song/38-minute album.
The band states: "Pakt mit dem Teufel was signed in blood somewhere in Poland during the full moon in 2022. Teufelsberg continues to follow the path of Unholy Black Metal. The funeral bell carries its song bathed in moonlight. It calls impure souls to the top of the Devil's Mountain, calls to make a pact and worship HIM".
