Belgian Black Metal Horde SERPENTS OATH has announced their sophomore album “Ascension”, which will be released on 24th June 2022 through Soulseller Records. The album was conjured at the renowned Stage One Studio with Andy Classen as the master of ceremony.

SERPENTS OATH state: “When we released our debut, we were a trinity. Since then, we have expanded our line-up to five sworn-in members. Working on and recording this album as a band has brought a new dimension to this record. Expect no remorse from this opus, only crushing riffs, pounding drums and terrorizing screams.”

The artwork was created by Néstor Avalos Official Black arts Site and shows the next chapter of the rebellion of Lucifer which was depicted on the band’s first album “Nihil” (2020). All nightmarish intros were created by melek-tha. Witness the unleashing of the beast and prepare to be crushed by skull impaling riffs of hate! The first single and pre-orders for Ascension will follow during April.

Enjoy the track “Malediction” from the acclaimed debut album Nihil released on 4th December 2020. Below the video is an excerpt from my review of Nihil.

“Nihil brought a deep and brainy concept. The transformation of an individual who strives to become transhuman with the ultimate goal of winning death. The philosophical transhuman theme addressed masterfully in the lyrics, alone makes the album unique. But the musical mantle with tyrannically overwhelming riffs, merciless hammer drums and frightening screams pushes to the limit the extreme metal genre. It’s a blast. The album comprises 12 tracks with a run time of around 36 minutes, five of them are of a beautifully dark ambient ritualistic atmosphere that transcends the limits of the mundane reality. These tracks are strategically placed between those of extreme metal, a never-ending assault.” ~FF
