Baltimore, Maryland’s Nixil has shared its new single, “In Thrall.” The second track to be taken from the black metal group’s forthcoming sophomore album, “From the Wound Spilled Forth Fire,” comes paired with a music video self-produced by the band.
Pre-order “From the Wound Spilled Forth Fire”–set for an Aug. 25, 2023, release via Prosthetic Records–here.
“‘In Thrall’ is a curse directed toward those who, through their base and willful ignorance, believe that systems of oppression are somehow synonymous with liberation; those who would violently usurp cultures and attempt to eradicate peoples based on toxic delusions of supremacy connected to cosmically imposed trivialities of the flesh,” the band said. “We see you.”
Watch the band’s previously released video for the new album’s first single, “Collapsing the Poles,” here.
Having made its presence known with its 2021 debut, “All Knots Untied,” Nixil steadily has garnered a loyal following through live appearances across the United States, sharing stages with Hulder, Evoken, Molder and Yatra, and making an appearance at Maryland Deathfest 2022 along the way.
After solidifying its lineup in its current form with the arrival of guitarist/backing vocalist Alden, Nixil opted to record “From the Wound Spilled Forth Fire” live at Magpie Cage Recording Studio with J. Robbins.
