THE BEAST

Today, Austrian black metallers  Theotoxin  stream   the entirety of their highly anticipated third album ,  Fragment : Erhabenheit ,  in advance of its release date . Set for international release on September 11th via  AOP Records . Hear   Theotoxin ’s   Fragment : Erhabenheit  in its entirety   HERE  at   AOP Records ' official YouTube channel.

With the intention of creating supreme black metal art,  Theotoxin  ascended from the catacombs of Vienna, Austria in 2016. A quintet featuring members of Zombie Inc., Selbstentleibung, and now-labelmates  Anomalie , this strong lineup of musicians has been well tested on tour all over Europe.

In 2017,  Theotoxin  self-released their debut album,  Atramentvm , and kept writing new material, which led to the release of the successor  Consilivm  (Massacre Records) just a year later. Plenty of live appearances and a tour through Europe followed, further honing the band’s considerable chops. On those stages did the band deliver a throttling live show with deep atmosphere; the name  Theotoxin  began to spread.

Now aligned with longtime fans   AOP Records ,  Theotoxin  are eager to spread their black chants even further with their strongest album yet. Bearing the thematic title of  Fragment : Erhabenheit ,  Theotoxin ’s third album is both a consolidation of the band’s strengths as well as an extension of new ones. Much like their intense onstage performances, the violence is palpable – almost overwhelmingly so – and is doled out with the ease of experienced masters. Equally so, however, a chilling melodicism rises from this physicality which puts  Fragment : Erhabenheit  in rarefied territory: a paradoxically refreshing (re)iteration of second-wave black metal classicism. It’s as much mid ‘90s as it is Now, and  Theotoxin  simply make it look all too easy…

Suitably graced with demonic-yet-mystical artwork courtesy of the masterful Jose Gabriel Sabogal,  Fragment : Erhabenheit  is guaranteed to be  Theotoxin ’s breakout moment!
