\nWith their fourth LP Agnus Dei nearing North American release on October 23rd via Southern Lord, Western Italy\u2019s hate force THE SECRET drop another preview of their new album\u2019s destructive nature.
\n
\nThe fifth track on Agnus Dei, \u201cPost Mortem Nihil Est,\u201d conveys its carnage with a more mid-paced rhythm than the majority of THE SECRET\u2019s generally high-speed anthems, without coming up short on the band\u2019s patented style of blackened hardcore detestation. States founding vocalist Marco Coslovich on the lyrical direction of the track: \u201cThe song is about people being in debt with society since the day they were born and having zero chance to get rid of it until the day they die.\u201d

\nThis November and December THE SECRET will storm Europe on tour supporting Converge, Touch\u00e9 Amor\u00e9 and A Storm of Light, with much more tour action to be announced into the new year.
\n
\nSince 2003 THE SECRET has waged musical warfare with their incendiary brew of metallic hatred, their songs constantly growing more caustic and intolerant with each release. Merging elements of crust, black metal and hardcore with the force of tectonic plates, constructed of monolithic riffs which take the listener through a hallucinated trip towards a hazy tomorrow, Agnus Dei was recorded by Kurt Ballou (High on Fire, Converge, Black Breath) at Godcity Studios as was their previous album, Solve Et Coagula
