SATURNAL RECORDS announces May 25th as the international release date for DJEVELKULT's highly anticipated second album, Nar Avgrunnen Apnes. A work of traditional black metal savagery that nevertheless retains a timeless freshness, Nar Avgrunnen Apnes ushers forth DJEVELKULT's long-awaited return after their bold 'n' brash debut album, 2014's I Djevelens Tegn. Built upon a foundation of cold 'n' filthy riffing laced with an atmosphere that's both desperate and triumphant, DJEVELKULT's Nar Avgrunnen Apnes is some of the purest Norwegian black metal you will be able to find in modern times. The passion bleeds through every performance here; the ensuing songs stick in the listener's head without relying on saccharine catchiness. But as with everything in the band's restless ways, DJEVELKULT here chose to shape the new album with additional inspiration from guest artists: Draug of Kirkebrann sang and wrote the lyrics of "Vredeskvad"; Invisius of Blodhemn played the drums, and sang and wrote the lyrics of "An Evil Unheard Of"; Anneland played the second solo on "Apocalypse (Hellspawn)"; and Kleven plays additional guitar on "En Ny Tid." With more touring and live performances slated for later in the year, Nar Avgrunnen Apnes marks a momentous moment for DJEVELKULT. True Norwegian black metal is undead!
