Egregore Release “Servants Of The Second Death” Single + Music Video

“Servants Of The Second Death” is the latest preview of It Echoes In The Wild, the bizarre and unhinged second album by feral Vancouver-based black/death metal entity Egregore, nearing March release on 20 Buck Spin.

Here we find ourselves, among the Canadian miscreants Egregore – uniting members of Mitochondrion, Reversed, Ruinous Power, formerly of Auroch, and more – whereupon they return from whence the wind howls like a damned choir and the Earth knows no master, to chart a broader sonic wilderness via It Echoes In The Wild. And much as sea-rogues and freebooters sought fortune upon blackened waters, so too does Egregore venture musically into diabolical and ungoverned lands.

Presenting something more expansive, elemental, and untamed on It Echoes In The Wild, the early occult black death metal lunacy of Egregore embraces atmospheric breadth equally alongside primitive force to delve deep into not only geographic wilds, but the psychological, esoteric and spiritual hinterlands at the edges of complete madness. Dark invocations and secret tongues draw forth echoes from forest and fen, cave and cliff, tempting the temporally tethered to receive the curse, all the while driven by a primal, unknowable sardonic menace.

Though the voyage be perilous, to succumb to It Echoes In The Wild is to become ensconced in a lawless dominion of the soul in service of a higher call. Mirroring nature’s unbridled forces and the hidden echoes that dwell within, Egregore’s second album takes the band’s mystical insanity and magickal perversion to the edge of the abyss and plunges forward.

It Echoes In The Wild was engineered and recorded by Mariessa McLeod, mixed and mastered by Arthur Rizk (Blood Incantation, Dream Unending, Tomb Mold), and completed with cover art by Luciana Lupe Vasconcelos, illustration and layout by Dipayan Das, and logo by Karmazid. The result is an album prime for fans of Nocturnus, Morbid Angel, King Diamond, Samael, Superstition, Angelcorpse, Mortuary Drape, Necrophobic, Absu, and The Chasm.

The menacing new video for “Servants Of The Second Death” was created by Jamie Ward/Experience The Mysteries.

Egregore’s Catastrophe Saturna declares:

“Know this! We consulted the ancient teachings of Nagarjuna and Halford both, and upon total realization, we were able to part from the burden of all the acts performed in service to the second death. What is done is done! There is no regret once the prerequisite requirements of any given moment are understood. We have slept with the Three Fates against better judgement, slid into the DMs of obscure Gods, made a fool of the self before the council of spirits, and stand before you now as the Emperor of all Times and Places dressed as court jester.”

Essentia Collapse contributes:

“The result of pounding all things Hellenic, Italian, Brazilian, and Mexican into our skulls, mixed with the existing bedrock of shaky Floridian death weirdness, ‘Servants of the Second Death’ explores various flavours of The End in its almighty glory and insignificance, revealing a more heavy metallic shade of the Egregore found throughout It Echoes In The Wild.”
