Greek atmospheric black metallers LUCIFER’S CHILD premiere lyric video for new single “As Bestas”, lifted from the band’s anticipated third studio album The Illuminant, due out March 28th via Agonia Records.
After a seven year slumber which LUCIFER’S CHILD slipped into following its last full-length record The Order – a slumber veiled in shadow and silence – the Greek black metal quartet reawakens the fire which never fully ceased to burn or amaze. In a phoenix-like reprise, the group channels the heights of its esoteric ponder and the depths of its harrowing despair into The Illuminant.
The album marks a profound evolution in LUCIFER’s CHILD sound, aspiring to “a journey deeper into the abyss and the emotions, where the extreme meets the melodic, and the unseen becomes manifest,” points out co-founder/guitarist George Emmanuel (ex-ROTTING CHRIST, ex-CHAOSTAR, NECROMANTIA). “Our new album represents a bold evolution in our sound. It is an intense journey that blends the dark, the emotion, and the melody. With eight blasphemous tracks, it is both a reckoning and a revelation, a fire that consumes but also renews. This is our revelation, and we can’t wait to share its intensity across the stages.”
The Illumimnant was produced, mixed and mastered by George Emmanuel at Pentagram Studio (DEMONICAL, SEPTICFLESH, NECROMANTIA) with the exception of drums which were recorded at Pale Blue Dot Studios. The album’s cover artwork was hand-drawn by Daniele Valeriani (DARK FUNERAL, MAYHEM).
