Vicious Italian cult The Secret returns in 2018 with a new impending release of their first new material in six years. The Secret ends the extensive period of decay since their in 2012 released album Agnus Dei, emerging with their first studio material in almost six years. Following three years without communication between members, the band regrouped under the same roof for the first time since 2015 to record Lux Tenebris, a three-song act in sonic exploration of the theme of the sepulchre.
The twenty-minute long Lux Tenebris EP sees The Secret abandoning the minimalistic approach of the previous two albums, the band expanding its sound by adding more layered and textural guitar work to the primordial destructive aggression that distinguished the Solve Et Coagula and Agnus Dei albums. While still physical and confrontational, these songs show no concern for mortality and forget time and decay, creating new room for resonation and atmosphere. Lux Tenebris is an ode to the eternal night suspended beyond life and death. Southern Lord will issue The Secret's Lux Tenebris EP as part of the label's special twentieth anniversary subscription series on 31st August. Check out a short trailer in the player below.
