Pelegrin announce new album ‘The Curse Of Nephtar’

The upcoming release, titled The Curse Of Nephtar, is the third full-length album from the French heavy psychedelic rock band and is scheduled to be released on September 4th via Ripple Music. The record follows 2023’s Ways Of Avicenna and continues the band’s ascent within the underground heavy psych scene.

The new record sees the band pushing their sound in a heavier and more immediate direction, while retaining their signature blend of rich melodies, progressive songwriting and atmospheric textures.

Speaking about the album’s concept, the band explains, “the album depicts the tale of Nephtar, a powerful black orb that comes to life in the depths of prehistoric ocean Tethys, which used to stand above the current Middle East. Ignored for eons, it eventually uses its manipulative powers to join the surface and subdue all living things. While for a brief moment, it is hoped that using Nephtar will create an era of plenty for all, humans come to realize that the price to pay is exceedingly heavy and start fighting to break the curse.”

Alongside the announcement, the band have released the new single Eons, which arrives with an accompanying lyric video and serves as the first taste of the album.
