BLUT AUS NORD announce "Ethereal Horizons"

Two years after the Lovecraftian descent of "Disharmonium – Nahab", the legendary French Black Metal entity BLUT AUS NORD unveils all details for 16th album, "Ethereal Horizons".

Defying expectation once again, "Ethereal Horizons" is not a continuation of the "Disharmonium" saga, but instead opens a new portal of otherworldly melodies and uncharted structures. "Ethereal Horizons" is BLUT AUS NORD fully realised: richer, deeper, grander, more enigmatic and simultaneously more human than ever. Intermeshing the earthen and the futuristic as a vessel for the dark dreamer, soaring and ascending to vivid realms.

Tracklist:

01. Shadows Breathe First
02. Seclusion
03. The Ordeal
04. The Fall Opens The Sky
05. What Burns Now Listens
06. Twin Suns Reverie
07. The End Becomes Grace

The apt and evocative cover artwork was crafted by Polish artist Maciej Kamuda, whose visionary hand also shaped the "Disharmonium" imagery.

The album was recorded and mixed by V. at Earthsound Studio, with mastering handled by Bruno Varea at Upload Studio.

‘Shadows Breathe First' – first single and album opener – is a breathtaking initiation into this newly forged sonic realm. Visual artist Alex Moréan (AVERSIO HUMANITATIS) has created a striking accompanying video to deepen the atmosphere and amplify its resonance.

Watch here:

"Ethereal Horizons", will be released November 28th on several CD as well as vinyl editions and digital, accompanied by a selection of new merchandise. Pre-orders are now open through our EU, US, and Bandcamp shops.
