BLACK ANVIL Streaming Song “May Her Wrath Be Just” off Newly-Announced Album ‘As Was’

New York City’s Black Anvil have just announced their new album As Was, due January 13th, 2017 via Relapse Records, and are now streaming the first single “May Her Wrath Be Just”. The staggering 50-minute follow-up to 2014’s Hail Death is atmospheric and melodic without relenting on any of the extreme metal ferocity for which the band are known.

More diverse, complex, and thought-provoking than anything they’ve done before, As Was is a stellar representation of modern black metal, and of Black Anvil’s continuous progression and songcraft. As Was features cover art by Metastazis (Behemoth, Watain, Morbid Angel) and recorded at Menegroth by Colin Marston (Krallice, Gorguts, Panopticon) with mixing and mastering done by Tore Stjerna at Necromorbus Studio (Tribulation, Funeral Mist, Watain).
