Just in time for the official start of horror season, Canadian blackened death masters NECRONOMICON have premiered the new song “The Thousand Masks.” The track is taken from the band’s upcoming album Unus, which will be released on October 18. Listen “The Thousand Masks” above.
Necronomicon vocalist Rob the Witch comments: “This single is different from the others not only in the tempo, speed and groove, but it also directly goes back to the ‘Pharaoh of Gods’-era and is the third chapter of the song from 1999. It is the first track that we composed for our new album and one of my favorites because of its ambiance and feeling.”
NECRONOMICON have a well-earned reputation for quality by releasing material only when ready and satisfied with the outcome ever since their demo entitled “Morbid Ritual” (1992) firmly established their name within the underground. “The Silver Key” EP (1996) led to mainstream recognition on a national level, but their debut album “Pharaoh Of Gods” (1999) and the sophomore “The Sacred Medicines” (2003) did even more to establish the band as a household name in Canada. “Return Of The Witch” (2010) marked the international break-through for NECRONOMICON, and saw them performing at prestigious festivals such as Inferno (Norway), Ragnarok (Germany), and the Barge To Hell metal cruise among others, while sharing stages with acts such as CRADLE OF FILTH, DIMMU BORGIR, BEHEMOTH, and MORBID ANGEL, to name but a few. Their steady advance around the globe grew considerably in impact by their next full-length “Rise Of The Elder Ones” (2013). Now NECRONOMICON are more than ready for the next step with ‘Advent Of The Human God’. Lay back and savour the darkness!
