Finally getting to listen to the LP properly. Incredible stuff.

Tis another exceptional beast of a thing.

[OpenSores]

Brilliant track as expected.

[Squigs]

Can't wait for it

Listening to Zoetrope here on the phone. It sounds promising, but of course it's hard to get anywhere near the scope of it through these speakers. I'll pick it up in the coming weeks.

Buzzing to hear this.

There should be a thread for bands who's name you think you know until you actually have to type it into a search engine

This is so, so good. The art of writing hooky riffs in this style is so rare. It's complex and layered, but it's memorable and not consumed with it's own sense of importance. Leads that elevate and add as opposed to being included for the sake.  Weirdly there's the choral production reminds me of the mid-section of Unas Slayer of the Gods.

Couldn't agree more quality throughout.

Invictus just announced a new album -

Here, in the blood's inferno...
in the bitterness of each cell...
in the shudder of your nerves...

QRIXKUOR surface once more to bring the crepuscular whispers of 2021's Poison Palinopsia LP and 2022's Zoetrope EP to a roaring, terrifying and triumphant crowning crescendo with their 2nd full-length album, entitled The Womb of the World, to be released on Friday 7th November by Invictus Productions in Europe and Dark Descent Records in the USA, with pre-orders for vinyl, CD and cassette beginning from Friday 10th October.

Once again recorded, mixed and mastered on familiar ground at Priory Recording Studios in Birmingham, England by Greg Chandler (ESOTERIC) and emblazoned with a much-expanded outer and inner gatefold piece by Zoetrope artist-extraordinaire Santiago Caruso (as well as additional insert art contributed by Nuno Zuki), The Womb of the World further defies the dogmas of death and black metal by dragging them deeper still into the depths of textural and timbral delirium, more so than its predecessors even dared fathom, augmented throughout its 4 chapters by the sinistrous siren song of The Orchestra of the Silent Stars.

The venomous tongues of guest-contributor slithering serendipity herself Jaded fucking Lungs (ADORIOR) maniacally guide And You Shall Know Perdition As Your Shrine into the album's eponymous climax, a tumultuous ending in fire certain to be the apotheosis of QRIXKUOR's vision to date.

The Womb of the World is the echo of time tearing itself apart, a dauntless deliverance of dissolution. Perhaps now the seas can be still at last...

Track list:
1. So Spoke the Silent Stars
2. Slithering Serendipity
3. And You Shall Know Perdition As Your Shrine...
4. The Womb of the World

Lineup:
S - Guitars, bass and vocals
D - Drums

Symphonic accompaniments & all additional instruments composed for and arranged by S & performed by The Orchestra of the Silent Stars.

Jaded Lungs (ADORIOR) - guest vocals on track 3

Recorded, mixed and mastered by Greg Chandler

I often wonder is it as tedious to write these press releases as it is to read them haha Very excited for this though, the last two releases are on another level.

Have it for a year or so at this stage and it's another wild ride. Even more orchestral than Zoetrope but also more direct at times. There's even a degree of, dare I say, optimism to it 

[Squigs]

Boo, down with hope

[OpenSores]

Snap, just listening to the last album this morning looking forward to it and the new Blut!

[Eoin McLove]

The sample sounds immense. Loving the artwork choice too.
