Nixil announce new album ‘From The Wound Spilled Forth Fire’

NIXIL have announced a new album!

Titled From The Wound Spilled Forth Fire, the upcoming album from the Baltimore-based black metal band is the follow-up to 2021’s All Knots Untied, and is scheduled to be released in August this year, via their new home at Prosthetic Records.

After solidifying their lineup in its current form, with the arrival of guitarist/backing vocalist Alden, NIXIL opted to record From the Wound Spilled Forth Fire live at Magpie Cage Recording Studio with J. Robbins. The resulting six songs seethe with a frenzied despair, whilst more ominous passages breathe with a disquieting existential terror in every percussive and rhythmically meditative trance, exactly as the band intended to capture before handing mastering duties to James Plotkin.

Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “From The Wound Spilled Forth Fire is the manifestation of will of five individuals in collaboration, clawing toward catharsis and escape from the oppressive grasp of this rotting society. It is about finding power through adversity and the increase of spirit that can be gained through the intentional death of what our feeble human minds perceive as ‘Self’. It is also a magickal act, containing hymns of rebellion and strength in honor of the teachers and muses along the ever winding path toward liberation.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, NIXIL have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Collapsing The Poles. Speaking about the new song, the band says, “Collapsing The Poles is our siren song, heralding the breaking of the chains of demiurgic oppression through the recognition and eradication of the restrictive tendencies within the self (microcosm), allowing for the advancement of adversarial energy outward toward the seemingly unshakably oppressive forces of That Which Is (macrocosm). It is also an invocation of Void, creating a sacred space for all that which we seek to put out into the world, and a reminder that even in the moments where it seems unreachable, freedom is always worth fighting for.”
