Black September: 'Into the Darkness into the Void'
Chicago death metal act Black September have confirmed a September 25th release date for their new album, 'Into the Darkness into the Void', which was recorded in the band's hometown at Bricktop Recording (Weekend Nachos, Veil Of Maya) by Andy Nelson. The band has described the new album as "ravenous and pure" and "one step beyond our previous efforts into a realm of untamed energy." The album will be released by Prosthetic Records.
Track listing:
1. Into the Darkness
2. Solitude
3. Rabid Hunger
4. Cursed
5. Invocation
6. Beyond the Realms
7. Defiance
8. Unhallowed Ground
9. No Return
Black September - who have previously performed with the likes of Enslaved, Skeletonwitch, Tragedy, 3 Inches of Blood, Thou, Alcest and more - have also announced a record release show on September 29th at Chicago's Ultra Lounge. Support will be provided by Pittsburgh death metallers Abysme, black sludgers Coffinworm and fellow Chicagoans Terminate.
'Into the Darkness into the Void' is the follow-up to 2010's 'The Forbidden Gates Beyond', hailed by Metal Hammer as "an invigorating blast of foul, redemptive air for those who proudly tread the left-hand path," and compared by Rock Sound to "the crusty bastard spawn of Bolt Thrower and Watain driving a Sherman tank over your head."
