Dutch black metal band Embraced by Darkness dropped their first full-length album on October 31st. Titled Ex Inferis, the twelve track album came out via Non Serviam Records.
About the band:
Forged in the cold Dutch underground, Embraced by Darkness emerged some winters ago with the intent to channel the raw essence of black metal into a furious, yet melodic storm. Their sound blends relentless aggression with haunting atmospheres, weaving in shades of death metal to create a distinct and uncompromising style.
In 2022, the band released its first EP, MMXXII, during the height of the pandemic. Despite the challenges of the time, the release resonated with fans worldwide, surpassing 50,000 streams on Spotify and establishing Embraced by Darkness as a rising force in the extreme metal underground.
Carrying that momentum forward, the band entered Armageddon Studio in 2023/2024 to record their first full-length album, Ex Inferis. Produced by Anders Backelin (Lord Belial / Vassago / Trident), the album captures the band at its most ferocious and focused.
Consisting of twelve tracks, Ex Inferis is a testament to raw blackened violence, exploring lyrical themes of destruction, the fall of false prophets, and devotion to the dark path.
