Colorado-based Black Metal spectres United States Akhlys have recently unveiled the details for their next album, which is to be titled "House of the Black Geminus", and will be released on the 5th of July via Debemur Morti Productions. The album will mark the band's fourth studio release, and features six new tracks, one of which, "Sister Silence, Brother Sleep", is now available for listening:

 


The label elaborated on the album's themes and style:

Following 2020's widely-worshipped "Melinoë", AKHLYS, the globe's premier channelers of abyssal nightmare, return triumphant with six elaborate and exhilarating new tracks of pure Black Metal terror.

Drawing from esoteric and mythical traditions, where the land of dreams is placed within the darkness of the underworld, arises the "House of the Black Geminus". Through labyrinthine halls, shadowed corridors, cellars of dread, and attics of epiphany, as ordeal and ecstasy meet at the vertices where each beholds his own daemon.

With AKHLYS now a monumental live entity, the visceral power of the stage is evident in the band's most all-encompassing, destructive and diabolically grand-sounding record-to-date.

"House of The Black Geminus" is a display of frightening dominance. Combining intense Black Metal with elements of Dark Ambient and Death Industrial, AKHLYS unite psychological horror, orchestrated bludgeon and eerie foreboding on a harrowing journey into pandemonic majesty.


The complete tracklist for "House of the Black Geminus" is as follows:


  1. The Mask of Night-Speaking
  2. Maze of Phobetor
  3. Through the Abyssal Door
  4. Black Geminus
  5. Sister Silence, Brother Sleep
  6. Eye of the Daemon - Daemon I


The cover art for the album was created by Italian artist Agostino Arrivabene:

Charles Baudelaire’s The Abyss


Pascal had his abyss that followed him.
Everything is abyss: action, desire, dream – word.
I feel the wind of fear pass frequently
through my thick hair, which often stands on end,
up and down, everywhere, into the depths,
through silence, space, captivating, ugly…
During my nights, a god with clever hands
draws never-ending multi-shaped nightmares
and I’m afraid of sleep – it’s a big hole
full of horrors that lead to the unknown.
Windows show me infinity. Seeing
it, my hurt mind suffers from vertigo.
How I envy the sense of nothingness;
I’m never free of numbers or of beings.

I can't wait for the album.
