Wrocław, Poland; 18th October 2024: Polish black metal act Deus Mortem unleashes a sonic assault with their first single, “Krwawy Świt” (translates to “Bloody Dawn” from Polish), a powerful introduction to their highly anticipated third album, “Thanatos”.
“Krwawy Świt” is a song about tearing off the curtain of illusion and liberating the soul from the clutches of deadly nostalgia. It expresses the futility of searching for fulfillment in an existence that turns out to be an empty vessel. It is a song filled with hatred for the world and bitterness, where the only salvation for the soul is a spark of black fire that barely, but constantly smoulders.
Here’s what vocalist and guitarist Necrosodom has to say about the single:
“Krwawy Świt” is the beginning of a story about spiritual transformation, about a thorny path from the deadness of non-existence, towards a higher form of one’s own consciousness. Musically, it balances between the school of Black Metal and the old rock vibe, which in the case of Deus Mortem is quite a bold step and opening the gates to previously unknown areas.”
Scheduled for release on 15th November 2024, via Profane Spirit Productions, “Thanatos” promises a dynamic evolution for Deus Mortem. While retaining their black metal roots, the album showcases a powerful blend of old-school rock and metal influences, with driving riffs, thunderous rhythm sections, and haunting melodies. It’s a testament to the band’s musical growth, showcasing a more versatile and powerful sound than ever before.
“Thanatos” is a concept album that confronts the complexities of human existence. It takes listeners on a transformative journey through illusory realities, unveiling hidden truths and stripping away the veils of deception. It’s a testament to personal struggle and the power of the Black Flame.
Ahead of the album’s release, Deus Mortem will embark on a Polish tour with fellow black metal acts Venefices and Devilpriest starting on 31st October 2024. Fans attending the tour will have the exclusive opportunity to purchase the “Thanatos” CD before its official release date.
