Tu loupes rienNotorious Swedish black metal collective, Watain, is proud to unleash "The Howling" - the first single from their upcoming new studio album, The Agony & Ecstasy Of Watain, which will be released on April 29.
"The Howling" sets the tone for what will be offered on the band's 7th full-length, an unsettling blackened voyage in 10 chapters that is as inexorably vicious as it is enticing.
E. Danielsson (vocals) states: "'The Howling' refers to the wordless voice of the wild, wailing eerily through the ages, urging us to leave our safe spaces and explore the dark recesses of the great Abyss both within and without. To see it, to learn from it, to know it. "
The single is available in both digital and physical form - a strictly limited 7'' with "The Howling" on its A-side and the Profanatica cover "I Arose" on its B-side can be bought as of today. The Black Vinyl is exclusively available through Nuclear Blast Mailorder, whereas the Oxblood colored version is being sold in the band's own shop. Act quick as these will be gone fast.
To commemorate their 25th anniversary as a band, ruthless Swedish black metal collective, Watain, has announced the release of a live album, Die In Fire - Live In Hell (Agony And Ecstasy Over Stockholm), which will be released on November 3 via Nuclear Blast Records.
After 25 years of madness and mayhem that manifested in seven studio albums, Watain‘s intense and much talked-about live rituals remain in a league of their own. Experience the raw power and fiery precision captured perfectly on this live recording from a sold out show that took place in October 2022 in Stockholm, and features fan favourites from albums such as Casus Luciferi, Lawless Darkness, The Wild Hunt, Trident Wolf Eclipse and of course the band's latest offering, The Agony And Ecstasy Of Watain, as well as the Bathory cover "The Return Of Darkness And Evil". The audio was recorded by Jamie Elton and mastered by Tore Stjerna at Necromorbus Studio.
With all artwork created by vocalist and front man Erik Danielsson, Die In Fire - Live In Hell is not only a sonic but also a visual reflection of Watain’s touring cycle for The Agony And Ecstasy Of Watain, and beyond that a symbol of gratitude for their loyal followers worldwide! Die In Fire - Live In Hell is a very personal release dedicated to all those who have joined Watain on their path of lawless black metal darkness during the past 25 years.
Watain have shared a first single, the epic "Before The Cataclysm" (Live In Stockholm 2022). Below you can watch a music video for this track, which was directed by Johan Bååth (Opus Diaboli, I'm in the Band).

Swedish black metallers WATAIN have announced that their upcoming eighth studio album will be their final collection of new material.
Earlier today (Saturday, September 20),WATAIN released the following statement: "Ladies and gentlemen, followers, allies and supporters, this is a solemn transmission from the Temple of WATAIN.
"We hereby announce that in III years' time — upon our 30th anniversary — WATAIN's eighth and final full-length album will be released. The album will mark the closure of a thirty-year-long magical Work, the last crossroad of WATAIN, after which the band will cease to exist. The ending of a triad of decades during which we have shared our sacred path through this strange world with you, our loyal audience, on a steady course towards the beckoning darkness of The End.
"Over the course of the next three years, the reasons for this will be spoken of and accounted for. But for now we just want to say this: Have our songs and our art not always dealt with finitude and mortality, with DEATH and the beyond? Now it is time to claim our own conclusion, and shape it as we have shaped our stage and our songs, in the fires of will. Instead of being consumed by the jaws of time, or broken upon the wheel of circumstance, we choose to let WATAIN return, unbowed and undefeated, back into the primordial chaos that once gave it life.
"And so we stand on the threshold to our final chapter, and III years of Work remain. III liminal years in the borderlands between the living and the dead, during which new music will be written and shared, concerts will take place, and other things, that will be revealed in due time, will emanate, with the certainty of DEATH, from the Temple of WATAIN.
"Take this message not as a farewell, but as the first note of a sacrificial requiem, as well as your invitation to partake in shaping these last years into something beyond compare.
"Praise be to the Devilgod by whom our path is blessed,
and upon whose altar we now place this our humble offering.
"To the DEATH and far beyond!"
