Ukraine’s melodic black metal band Deus Sabaoth has set January 17th, 2025, as the international release date for their highly anticipated debut full-length album, Cycle of Death. The first single Cycle Of Death now available on all major streaming platforms.
“Cycle Of Death is a journey through the bleak and twisted minds of its characters, captured across seven intense tracks. The album delves deep into the contrasts between the architects of faith and the consumed followers, revealing the dark interplay between belief, manipulation, and desperation. At its core lies the eponymous track, Cycle Of Death, which anchors the album’s central theme: the acceptance of death, the stark recognition of life’s futility, and the inescapable loneliness. In its relentless exploration of the vanity of existence, the album invites listeners to confront the idea that, in death, humanity is ultimately isolated, no matter the illusion of belief.” – says the band.
The project Deus Sabaoth came to existence in 2023 in Ukraine. The idea developed over the years, accumulating emotional experiences and absorbing new influences from the evolving black metal scene. Additionally, significant inspiration was drawn from classical Baroque music. Especially, the works of J.S. Bach.
Thus, the main concept of the lyrics is to reflect different perspectives on religion. Also, the existential concerns of those who confront their mortality… While rejecting any religious beliefs. These themes delve into a personal, internal struggle, exploring the complex emotions and conflicts faced by those who question the very nature of existence.
