Today, Nebular Carcoma announces October 12th as the international release date for the LONG-awaited second album of Sweden's Leviathan, Förmörkelse, on vinyl LP format. The cassette tape version will be released earlier by Bile Noire with alternate art.
One of the most cult names before the term "cult" began being bandied about with reckless abandon, Leviathan appeared out of nowhere in 2002 with one album, Far Beyond the Light, and then disappeared forever. Granted, the man behind this Leviathan was no newcomer: one Phycon, who concurrently drummed in Armagedda before their demise and the precursor Volkermord. As such, the breadth of ambition across Förmörkelse was startling if not completely unexpected. So pure, so cold, and yet so brimming with lifeless life - an intentional paradox, perhaps - here did Phycon ably bridge the '90s wave of black metal which so informed his youth with the yet-to-burst wave beginning at the dawn of the new millennium. It was an invigorating experience for all who heard it, and has since become a collector's item, released as it was by The Shining's since-closed Selbstmord Services label.
Begin beholding that vision with the brand-new track "Avgrundens Återsken" plus intro "XVII" HERE. Preorder info for the vinyl version can be found HERE while preorder info for the tape version can be found HERE. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
