Romanian black metal band VokodloK has announced its second album, The Egregious Being, due on 14 March, and unleashed the first single, "Death Terror". The album's release will be preceded by a mini-tour across Romania, Bulgaria, and Serbia in February.
Hearing the call of damnation, four rebellious spirits, GhiauR, Strigoi, Blestemat and Grosan, influenced by unholy music, joined the dark forces to be a part of the underground and formed the band VokodloK at the beginning of 2000. Soon after, Freak took over the drums, and the band released a five-track demo, Unchain The Wolf.
In 2003, the band released the debut full-length, Mass Murder Genesis, containing ten tracks that spread ideas of crime through the ways of black metal, standing in the line of anti-Christianity, combining malefic lyrics and disgust towards the forced religions with devilish blast rhythms and raw sounds. Mass Murder Genesis was promoted internationally and was followed by intense years of live appearances in Eastern European countries alongside bands like Vader, Hecate Enthroned, Mystic Circle, Cirith Gorgor, and Catamenia.
In 2020, the EP Oracle's Fury was released. Inspired by ancient Greek philosophy and human feelings, the lyrical story takes the listener through the primordial aspects of fear and faith. Link
