Somnium Nox Releases "Apocrypha" EP

Somnium Nox's new release "Apocrypha" is out now and can be heard below or picked up at Bandcamp here. The following press release was also issued about the single-song EP:

"Opening with sounds emanating from the native Australian tribal instrument, the didgeridoo, the music quickly picks up speed and intensity, thus beginning a new chapter in modern black metal. Somnium Nox, a band comprising veterans of known but unrevealed bands, step into the world of black metal with aplomb. Instead of releasing several fragmented songs under the pretext of an EP, they've decided instead to release one monolithic song encompassing everything great from the style.

"From the lush, foresty sounds of Drudkh, to the experimentation of bands like Blut Aus Nord and Deathspell Omega, to the atmospheric brilliance of Spectral Lore and the progressive skills of Grey Heaven Fall and Seedna, they've somehow merged it seamlessly, in a way that all these disparate elements complement each other and enhance the overall black metal appeal of this surprisingly potent and groundbreaking release. Somnium Nox have set new standards with 'Apocrypha' while innocuously releasing a single track to serve that purpose."
