After the announcement of their new album, A Dying Wish, alongside freezing album opener and first single “Funeral Pyre”, black/death metal veterans THULCANDRA leave no time to catch your breath with the drop of one of the album’s key standouts, second single “Nocturnal Heresy”.
THULCANDRA deliver another deadly statement of true Swedish death metal alongside a hard hitting music video! “Nocturnal Heresy” combines destructive guitar riffs with stomping beats that withstand even the fiercest blizzard! Together with the grim growls of Steffen Kummerer, “Nocturnal Heresy” is a dangerous banger with several doom metal passages that create a dark, ruthless wall of sound! Steffen Kummerer on “Nocturnal Heresy”: “Nocturnal Heresy” marks another filthy cut of our upcoming album A Dying Wish. With the combination of our very own sound with a long lasting middle section we turn down the everlasting speed to show you a different side of THULCANDRA. “Nocturnal Heresy” will become part of our release tour in Germany, Austria and Switzerland later the year.” Watch the new music video for "Nocturnal Heresy” HERE A Dying Wish will be released on October 29, 2021 via Napalm Records – once again carrying the burning torch of the glorious death metal era. Since their foundation by Obscura mastermind Steffen Kummerer in 2003, THULCANDRA has become an indispensable protagonist in the European extreme metal-sphere that reaches way back to the magnificent origins of their genre. THULCANDRA are musically and visually shaped by bands like Entombed, Sacramentum and Unanimated, but mainly influenced by genre carving act Dissection. A Dying Wish was produced at Unisound Studio by Dan Swanö, keeping the black flame of Jon Nödtveidt alive and worthy. A Dying Wish transports the listener right into an icy soundscape of a never ending, severe winter. With 10 blood-freezing tracks delivering clashing guitar riffs, epic slow moments driven by atmospheric acoustic guitars and rapid outbursts of dark and raspy screams, THULCANDRA creates another record that continues the great legacy of true death metal. A Dying Wish guarantees instant frostbite just as the first glance at the thrilling icy-blue cover artwork promises. After the listener is buried under the opener’s avalanche, THULCANDRA spans a dark arc between acoustic interludes and harsh blackened death metal parts. The quiet interlude “In Bleak Misery” marches into “A Shining Abyss”, that guides its listeners like a torch through the night. Dramatic riffing and the screeching growls of Steffen Kummerer create dark and dense walls of sound as up-tempo tracks like “The Slivering Silver” and “Devouring Darkness” offer strong leads, driving riffs and engaging drums that let the storm rage on without mercy. The final, title track “A Dying Wish” provides a great finale that covers everyone and everything under a massive layer of cold, leaving the world behind in nothing but ice and snow. THULCANDRA on the album: “We return with an album full of eerie cold melodies, ice-cold vibes and an over the top production by Swedish legend Dan Swanö at Unisound Studios! Within the first album in 5 years we celebrate the essence of pure black & death metal, adorned with more twin guitars, blast beats and filthy arrangements than ever. We celebrate the release of A Dying Wish with excessive shows and embark on a European tour to perform for all our loyal fans and supporters in the upcoming months.” Pre-order your copy of A Dying Wish NOW!
