Divine Death 07:23
Divine Death Lands of thunder earth plane beyond A symphony delightful harmony death Chaos in hordes song of the moon Talons of blade grasp claws burning In dominions of tears, they rise In storms sombre, they rise In terror thrive forth, nightfall beyond WE ARE BORN Lakes of morbid soulless vile Black in blood, festering well of hate Swarm the light, peons immersed - cold Of bliss and legions follow In trails of flesh, they rise In the fire of light, they feast In the arena of man, they kill WE ARE BORN Journeys end, entered anew Inducted to the embrace of night Forces within, crypt entrenched Dawn infernal darkness From the abyss black, they rise In the coldest of nights, they roar In the name of death - we hear WE ARE BORN Of impurity and stench, seldom torn The watchers fall, blood embraced Channelling storms, begotten torment Deity lost - serpents born In fires burn bright, we rise In the devils embrace, we rise All hail death and demise WE ARE BORN

Rising Storm 10:06
Rising Storm Here we stand, bathed in blood Immortal tears fused in fire Broken doom, loss infernal No victory so pure The Black Storm will BURN Flesh raked away, unity of her song A grasp of coldness, healing our hearts The ice kiss of Lamashta’s touch The horizons hither, awakened dust Its journey born as many Destiny awaits thee The time to die is now Black Storm Rising The time to die is now Black Storm Rising Embrace of the darkest hour Tormentor guide me Mother of shadows burn me I hear the melody black Tearing through my dead soul In blood we dance In darkness we scream A romance of misery Take my death, bring me forth Into the storm Black Storm Rising Sworn to cleanse, born to die Black Storm Rising Mortal Petrifier - Annihilator! All will rise to us Rulers! Wise ones! Her touch from beyond The path of the Storm Is us eternal

Inferno 03:34
Inferno Moons black imperium frozen Summoned by ghost insipid Brotherhood, sinister, arms open WE ENSHROUD THEE Lords of storm and fire Ichor bathed in storms fury You will burn with life - for WE ENGULF THEE Vast lands forgotten, feared Souls of dead men, the sundering spiritus Gaze upon the realms before time We breath fire INFERNO Brethren of the black word Upon mountains old Witching whores of the netherworlds WE SCORCH THEE Saviours lost - eternal nights Request forgiveness in fear to wrath Mourn thine sons, pathetic We savage thee in storms of fire INFERNO FURY Nigh is forth and souls are caught I be the solace fortress high Lair of warmth flesh of souls Torn from justice free and born IN INFERNO In curses cried and tears divine INFERNO Blood and fire come as one

Stygian 10:30
Stygian Burning souls of the endless void A hymn to behold forthwith entombed Journey’s wise in torments bond The wall of dead, a site to behold I gaze into the abyss Ceremonies, forsaken. A wondrous demise Portals opened - fire Like shadows in the night. A pillar of chaos black Fortress of bone and soul. This. Is. The. Vanguard. Call of sombre, the cries of light Echo but less than winds lost Hoards of gold fury begging hunger Reach to no avail - for these ... Are the VANGUARD. Stygian. By Blood. By Chaos. VANGUARD. Noxious be Winds of black fury Our cradle be will of no fear Like a shield of obsidian shadow STYGIAN. VANGUARD. LEGIONS so pure. Of the darkest soul burning. Hate - no fear. They gather as one. Hold as one. No worlds nether nor gone. For this is - THE VANGUARD. Song as silent as veils through mist A shudder of ignorant bliss Insects. Crushed by will with no mercy. Responded hymns in shattered cries A wave of souls cleansed of the light. They now join as one. For the VANGUARD. O darkest of lords - thy gate is sealed Frost of heart Fires of blood I stand for I am the founder Storm of mind and flesh Harbinger of reaping I am one With THE VANGUARD. Defender of the void Legion wall of fire Titans of the black gates

about

‘Irkalla’, like an otherworldly shadow exhales its deathly force having risen from beneath the shroud in 2021 as the first brand new material from Nazxul in over a decade. ‘Irkalla’ was clandestinely conceived and henceforth revealed are four new, previously unreleased tracks with a running time over over 30 minutes. Forged with a powerful ferocity reminiscent of ‘Totem’s’ visceral brutality and the sublime grandiosity of ‘Black Seed’ and ‘Iconoclast’, Nazxul has created a powerful beast of remorseless darkness. Cavernous as the underworld for which it is named, ‘Irkalla’ is a commanding titan of heaviness with Nazxul’s signature dynamic flair; the band’s whirlwind of unrelenting riffing punctuated by epic, brooding refrains, merciless fermata, thorny vitriol and simmering vocal menace. This tumultuous inferno of sheer fury is underpinned with majestic, atmospheric keyboard and layers of guitar tracks that create a unique symphonic majesty and sublime orchestral exaltation which cascades and swells to a cacophonous fever pitch of diabolical intensity that is both poignant and deeply unsettling in its ability to summon and penetrate the soul. ‘Irkalla’ opens the seven gates to the underworld; the musical appeasement in an abode of ancient demon’s and darkness where we dwell as shadowy reflections and dust.
This new entry into Nazxul's canon solidifies the band as a monolith of the black metal scene; with their roots in the 90s second wave of black metal and one of the founding forces of the Australian Black Metal scene the cult of Nazxul never dies
