THE BEAST

The new album from U.K. blackened death maniacs LVCIFYRE is now streaming in full ahead of its September 10 release. Decibel Magazine is hosting the exclusive world premiere of The Broken Seal.

Listen now at this location .

The band comments on the album:

"We summon and honor the ancient force that has forever stalked and strengthened mankind – from the formation of the earliest cradles of civilization to these angst-ridden modern times of fear and loathing. Each song is a bastard offspring of the goddess of life and death, as are we all."

The Broken Seal will be released on CD, gatefold vinyl, cassette, and digital formats on September 10. Dark Descent Records will release the album in North America with Norma Evangelium Diaboli handling the European release.

When LVCIFYRE made their way into Milan’s SPVN Studio in early 2020, they had no idea how much everyday reality would be changing around them. As the old world drew its final gasping breaths, LVCIFYRE ventured deep into themselves to birth a smothering slab of audible darkness fit to greet the new age.

Seven painstaking years in the making, LVCIFYRE mastermind T. Kaos describes The Broken Seal as ‘the biggest mountain to climb so far’ in his 25 years as an active musician.

Calculating and cruel, steeped in an ambiance of controlled fury, the nine tracks offer a jarring journey through the haunted recesses of the mortal mind. They are violent and hypnotic, but also bring out the occasional demented melody to keep things unpredictable. The lyrics - manic demonological verses that read as the album sounds - are roared, chanted, moaned and snarled with equal parts conviction and possession.

All combined, this results in a soundscape which, whilst firmly rooted in the death metal tradition, is thoroughly imbued with a theatrical vibe and spiritual depth more associated with black metal. The Broken Seal is a unique fusion of musical worlds, concocted to plague the reality of flesh.

Artwork for The Broken Seal was done by by Daniele Valeriani. The album was
recorded and mixed by SPVN Studio.
