[Press Release] NIGHTBRINGER To Reissue classic Debut album!

"And from wombs divine shall a new age be born
Oh, Lumial!
Lord of the Burning Aeon! Blessed be thy name!" ('Caudua Draconis – Azra Lumial')

15 years ago, Colorado Black Metal band NIGHTBRINGER gave birth to their outstanding debut album "Death And The Black Work", a potently hypnotic collection of opulent and aggressive hymns to the Dark Arts.

At the time, renowned site Metal Crypt described the record as:

"A classy aeon of crushing despair highlighted by a freezing guitar sound and big, deep-breathing arrangements that pile atmosphere on top of mood on top of more atmosphere."

"Death And The Black Work" is available again via Debemur Morti Productions in a definitive triple vinyl format, which includes as a bonus the four NIGHTBRINGER compositions present on the 2005 split with TEMPLE OF NOT, "Rex Ex Ordine Throni".

Tracklist:

01. Caput Draconis – Black Saturn
02. Womb Of Nyx
03. Feast Of The Manes
04. Of Silence And Exsanguination
05. The River Lethe
06. Beneath The Sands Of Dudael
07. Caudua Draconis – Azra Lumial
08. The Somnabulist
09. The Nascent Gates Of Twilight And Dawn
10. The Void
11. Mors Philosophorum
12. The Dark And The Silence
13. Vir Sapiens Dominabitur Astris

The two TEMPLE OF NOT tracks from the aforementioned split – which emanate from the minds of NIGHTBRINGER mainstays Naas Alcameth and Ophis – are not included on the vinyl re-release. These are, however, included in the digital version which is included with the vinyl via download code.

Kontamination Design took care of the new layout, while the cover artwork was created by Artem Grigoryev.

Orders are possible via the label's EU , US and Bandcamp shops. The album will also be released on streaming platforms on July 7th.

At the time of their founding, NIGHTBRINGER were conceived as a conduit for contemplations on the mysteries of death as it is understood in the tradition of the magical Arts. Formed in the year 1999 by vocalist and guitarist Naas Alcameth and former member Nox Corvus, the outfit from Colorado, United States chose Scandinavian Black Metal as the foundation of their artistic expression. NIGHTBRINGER developed along the lines of second generation Black Metal, while continuously expanding their own unique sinister mark on sound. After unleashing several demos and split releases between 2001 and 2006, their debut album "Death And The Black Work" arrived in 2008. Two years later, sophomore opus "Apocalypse Sun" followed. Erupting from the US underground, NIGHTBRINGER found themselves opening for major scene acts such as WATAIN, KRIEG, and PROFANATICA.
Having firmly established their place within the elite circle of US Black Metal with two further full-lenght albums, NIGHTBRINGER are bound to break through new boundaries with "Terra Damnata".
