Polish black metal act Deus Mortem unleash their second single, “When the Creation Tastes of Dionysian Wine”, from their highly anticipated third album, “Thanatos”.
Vocalist and guitarist Necrosodom said:
“The creation of this piece was accompanied by the long and deep contemplation of the Art tarot card. It is actually a piece about art and the work of creation. It begins with an invocation, a summoning of inspiration, the element of creative fire. Through the deities of war and revenge, the expansive force of destruction in the cycle of creation is unleashed. This is where the vision of a new world and a new self is born. It is a flowering of inspiration and creative freedom.”
“The cycle of destruction and creation anew here expresses artistic rebellion, art outside the patterns, individual, changing the rules of its own game, reconstruction of style and searching for inspiration beyond just oneself. It is an inspiration that goes beyond the ego. Revealing art in all its glory and retreating to forge its next chapters in silence again. The fruits of art here mean not only artistic creation, but also life choices, which are also art.”
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 31 October 2024. Fans attending the tour will have the exclusive opportunity to purchase the “Thanatos” CD before its official release date.
