The USA-based black metal quartet Black Sorcery has set 24 May as the release date for a new EP, Plummeting Into The Hour Of The Wolf. The EP will come out through Eternal Death in cassette tape format, while the first EP's track, "World Demands Cruelty", has already been unveiled.

Cold and foreboding, caustic, frenzied and bound by sombre introspection and destructive impulse, this latest work is a testament to the raw spirit of traditional black metal. It remains devoted to the obscured paths of the genre's unspoiled past. The three tracks are marked by themes of desperation, solitude, perversion, moral decay, and the loss of self in the suffocating darkness of existence - an unforgiving internal labyrinth of shattered mirrors where illumination is obtained through the talisman of suffering and pleasure realized in the ecstasy of willful damnation.

Black Sorcery's celebrated debut album, Deciphering Torment Through Malediction, raised the bar for American black metal last summer. Featuring more epic songwriting that always retains energy and urgency, as well as a pronounced emphasis on no-less-frenzied melancholy, Plummeting Into The Hour Of The Wolf further displays Black Sorcery's ever-growing strengths, once again given a powerful push through Enormous Door's mastering.
