One Of Nine announce new album ‘Dawn of the Iron Shadow’

ONE OF NINE have announced a new album!

Titled Dawn Of The Iron Shadow, the upcoming album from the American melodic black metal band is the follow-up to 2023’s Eternal Sorcery, and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Profound Lore Records. The cover artwork was created by renowned illustrator Ted Nasmith, known for his work on The Lord of the Rings, Unfinished Tales, and The Silmarillion.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a brand new single, titled Dreadful Leap, which features a guest appearance from HULDER as the Tear Maiden.

Speaking about the new single, the band says, “the page turns, and old sorceries die. Túrin, son of Húrin, has struck dead Glaurung, the dread worm! And in such bitter triumph the doom of his house is revealed as the golden veil upon Nienor’s mind is forever lifted. Thus do we, the Nine, lift our voices in the retelling, to proffer a glimpse upon the Dawn of the Iron Shadow. Dreadful Leap is unveiled, and its echo now resounds in every hall.”
