The Infernal Sea announce new album ‘Negotium Crucis’
THE INFERNAL SEA have announced a new album!
Titled Negotium Crucis, the upcoming album from the UK black metal band is the long awaited follow-up to 2016’s The Great Mortality and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Apocalyptic Witchcraft.
The upcoming album expands on the bands previously established concept of medieval brutally as presented on The Great Mortality, which focused on the black death that swept across the UK and Europe from 1348 and the horrors that man inflicted upon one another as a result. The band comments, “it is with great honour that we continue to forge our alliance with Apocalyptic Witchcraft, having worked with them closely over the past few years, we are keen to strengthen our working relationship, they understand what fuels THE INFERNAL SEA, allowing us the creative freedom we require to push the boundaries of our compositions. After a decade of aggression we welcome the next chapter in our blackened career.”
“The world we once knew has drastically changed, we live in fear of the unknown. As proclaimed Heralds of the plague, we warned of the oncoming darkness, a coincidence perhaps or strangely prophetic?” The band continues. “The global pandemic is devastating society and with it the music industry is on its knees. We too have suffered delays at the hands of COVID-19, but we rise from the turmoil to unleash our forthcoming album Negotium Crucis. This album has been challenging, but we conquered all, delivering our strongest and most diverse work to date. Hail the darkness!”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the title track of the upcoming album; Negotium Crucis. The track’s accompanying music video features drone footage by Simon Lucas, additional footage by James Burke (The Noise Cabin) and was edited by Scott Kennedy (12 Inch Media).
