Near Death Condition announce new album ‘Ascent From The Mundane’
NEAR DEATH CONDITION have announced a new album!
Titled Ascent From The Mundane, the upcoming album from the Swiss death metal band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2014’s Evolving Towards Extinction, and is scheduled to be released in February next year, via Unique Leader Records.
Speaking about the upcoming new album, the band says, “with references to Gnosticism, Ascent from the Mundane is a hymn to the spark of light trapped in the darkness of the world of matter that every human being is made of and is inspired by an introspection, a spiritual journey towards the deepest being, a connection in mindfulness with the darkest side of oneself to let the brightest side shine out. Imbued with darkness and light, the contrast between crawling-in-the-mire rhythmic parts topped with unhinged vocals and otherworldly cosmic lead guitars makes this album an attempt to remind that nothing is completely dark even when it sometimes seems to during the hardest times in life, and that light can only be revealed within darkness.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming album; The Bridal Chamber. Speaking about the new song, the band adds, “the Universe consists of elements that don’t go without its opposite: light and darkness, the masculine and the feminine, the infinitely large and the infinitely small, the good and the evil. Every thing needs its opposite to exist. And The Bridal Chamber, through the metaphor of the twin souls painfully separated from birth in search of the other with the nostalgia of this lost unity, is a hymn to the union of these opposites that can turn ignorance into wisdom.”
