Blut Aus Nord Premiere New Single & Music Video "The Ordeal" From Upcoming New Album "Ethereal Horizons"

Blut Aus Nord have unveiled their new single “The Ordeal”, streaming via YouTube and Spotify for you now below. The track will appear on the French avant-garde black metal entity’s upcoming 16th studio album, “Ethereal Horizons,” which is slated for release on November 28th. A haunting new video for the song, directed by Alex Moreán (Aversio Humanitatis), has also been made available.

Vocalist/guitarist Vindsval offered the following on the track:

“‘The Ordeal‘ refers both to judgment — not necessarily divine — and to suffering. Any profound spiritual journey involves a form of trial; you cannot avoid that pain. Seeking to understand, to rise, to give meaning to our existence inevitably means confronting our own flaws and a certain inner anguish. But this pain is not in vain — it is essential to transformation and transcendence. Religion, and more broadly spirituality, is not torment in itself; it reflects the perpetual inner struggle between our shadows and our light.”
