Necrofier have officially found a new label home with Metal Blade Records. The Texas black metal unit will unleash their next full-length, Transcend Into Oblivion, on February 27th through their just-inked deal — and fans can already dive into the darkness via the newly-released music video for “Servants Of Darkness, Guide My Way I.”
Frontman/guitarist Christian “Bakka” Larson shared his excitement over the creative direction of this upcoming release:
“This album really ended up where I always wanted us to go. It also had me digging deeper into the journey, into myself and basically everything to get it here. I felt the way the record makes you sound. Sometimes surrounded in chaos and sometimes in moments of accession. I really like what we did on the previous album, but it doesn’t compare to what we have accomplished on the new one.”
A press release further revealed that the album’s entire structure is built around the number three — Necrofier’s third LP, split into a three-act narrative concept, each featuring its own three-part thematic suite, with instrumentals breaking those acts apart. Larson elaborated:
“The other records have different concepts, but they weren’t drawn out in one big piece like the new one. From the creation, the record is based on a Luciferian Dark Night Of The Soul. ‘Fires Of The Apocalypse, Light My Path’ is the awakening… It starts feeling as though a new fire has been lit, but it grows dark as we venture into the second act, ‘Servants Of Darkness, Guide My Way.’ This is the struggle and torment that comes along with the awakening… This leads into Act III, ‘Horns Of Destruction, Lift My Blade.’ This is the rebirth or accession. You have been transformed; you are not who you were before. Everything has changed, you see the world differently and you take what is yours.”
Speaking specifically about the album’s lead single, Larson added:
“The torment and struggle that comes along with awakening. The descent into darkness to be reborn. Where at first you thought everything was done, now you learn that these trials are what help shape you while they drive you mad.”
