Dark Descent Records is set to unleash Armageddon Patronage, the second album from Copenhagen’s purveyors of ‘accursed death’ STRYCHNOS.
The follow-up to 2022’s breakout debut A Mother’s Curse delivers the expected onslaught of uncompromising black/death metal. Armageddon Patronage features a guest appearance by Michael Poulsen (Volbeat, Dominus).
The band has shared the first track off Armageddon Patronage, “Winds Warning the Final Storm.” Stream it now here:
Armageddon Patronage embodies the immense drive of a band operating at full throttle, refining their distinct blend of extreme metal bound to no god, master, or genre. Following a string of intense and blood-stained festival performances STRYCHNOS is now the name on the underground’s lips. Propelled by this vast momentum, the band toiled tirelessly to record and release Armageddon Patronage less than two years after their debut.
“This release will showcase a natural continuation of what A Mother’s Curse began,” reflects bassist/vocalist Martin Leth Andersen. “The band seeks to refine and push further key elements from the debut – in ways of both aggressiveness and the more atmospheric parts. This follow-up also showcases an array of new details like alternative instrumentation, vocal variations, intros, outros, and a couple of noticeable guest appearances.”
Rare is the band within these realms that improves so exponentially with each new release. Do not miss the flight of STRYCHNOS… for one may never know how long the underground can contain them.
Armageddon Patronage will be out May 17 on CD, cassette, vinyl, and digital formats. Pre-order at:
