Necrofier Premiere New Single & Music Video "Servants Of Darkness, Guide My Way I”" - Sign With Metal Blade Records

Texan black metal band Necrofier have officially signed with Metal Blade Records. Their new album, “Transcend Into Oblivion,” is set to arrive on February 27th via their new label home. Alongside the announcement, the group also premiered a music video for the track “Servants Of Darkness, Guide My Way I”, giving fans an early look at their latest corpse-painted assault:

Speaking on the direction and evolution behind this upcoming album, vocalist/guitarist Christian “Bakka” Larson shared:

“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 explained that the record is built around the motif of three. Beyond being Necrofier’s third full-length, it’s structured as a three-act concept piece featuring three separate three-part suites, each divided by an instrumental track. Bakka elaborated on this thematic framework, stating:

“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. The first three songs are experiences and dreams that were happening as this change began, and I questioned everything I was doing.

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. Realizing things from the past are no longer true and you see the world in a different way, and it isn’t easy. 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.

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.”
