Necronautical announce new album ‘Apotheosis’

NECRONAUTICAL have announced a new album!

Titled Apotheosis, the upcoming album from the UK black metallers is their latest effort and is scheduled to be released in August this year.

The album was recorded, mixed & mastered by British producer Chris Fielding (WINTERFYLLETH, WITCHSORROW, MAMMOTH WEED WIZARD BASTARD) at Skyhammer Studio. Adorned by the foreboding artwork of David Thiérrée (BEHEMOTH, GORGOROTH), Apotheosis serves as a sonic epitaph to the human experiences of hope and faith. It details a melancholic journey through an empty and brutal existence, taking inspiration from the works of Friedrich Nietzsche, Chuck Palanuik and Neil Gaiman.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video the first song to be taken from the upcoming album; titled Nihil Sub Sole Novum.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, “we feel that this song acts as a perfect microcosm for the direction of the album and of NECRONAUTICAL itself: a relentless combination of punishing riffs and melancholic euphoria. The title translates as “nothing new under the sun”, directly challenging the conclusion of Ecclesiastes 1:9, and instead seeking to elevate the bleak and repetitive nature of life and humanity to the dais reserved for its gods. The song draws on the concepts of anamnesis and of a mythical pre-human golden age, and asks if such rediscovered knowledge can break the monotony of existence.”
