ErzdûÊmon

Description

2022 saw the unholy return of the German extreme metal band Mystic Circle, releasing their new self-titled studio album and marking a furious comeback. Inspiration continued to flow and the two main members Beelzebub and A. Blackwar created nine new tracks for their ninth studio album, which will be called 'Erzdämon' (in French: archdemon). "This new album is a logical sequel and further development of the previous album, more detailed and leading further into the world of horror. The satanic and demonic themes have combined with mystical legends from old stories that will chill your blood. Musically, this is evoked with new and darker sounds and samples as well as classic heavy metal parts," comments the band and describes their new journey as a blend of their classics "Drachenblut" and "Infernal Satanic Verses" as well as their latest "Mystic Circle." "We gave the album a German title because we want to come full circle and return to our roots. 'Erzdämon' sounds powerful and sublime and represents the album 100%." For the album cover, Mystic Circle once again worked with Rafael Tavares, who found the perfect illustration. The production with Nils Lesser continues the legacy of the previous album: explosive, brutal, and massive! "The new record contains the fastest, but also the most doom-laden songs in the history of the band," summarizes the group. 'Erzdämon' will be released on March 17, 2023, on Fireflash Records, a sub-label of Atomic Fire Records.
