THY DARKENED SHADE set release date for new W.T.C. album, reveal first track

Today, W.T.C. Productions announces January 10th, 2023 as the international release date for Thy Darkened Shade‘s highly anticipated third album, Liber Lvcifer II: Mahapralaya.

A statement from the band reads: “Years in the making, Liber Lvcifer II: Mahapralaya is for sure our most difficult-to-be-made album to date and will get unleashed soon on the filthy cosmic plane. Hymnic yet progressive, exploring the concept of Lucifer’s manifestations through religions once more, through real occult practice and experience. Coming from exactly the same source as Liber Lvcifer I but releasing a totally different expression of it. After adversity and hardships, we are definitely proud to share it with all of you who are willing to experience a spiritual black metal manifestation of the void. We stared inwards once more, ignoring any outside influences, caring only for reflection, burning totally out everyone involved in it, and getting closer and closer to the source of all.”

THY DARKENED SHADE, AMESTIGON, INCONCESSUS LUX LUCIS, and SHAARIMOTH to release long-awaited “SamaeLilith” split album via W.T.C.

THY DARKENED SHADE • AMESTIGON • INCONCESSUS LUX LUCIS • SHAARIMOTH
A four-way collaborative album comprised of 15 songs of stygian devotion, spanning over 90 minutes of music. Executed by four of the most uncompromising and zealous bands.

“We are The Murderer’s black seed, eternally. A conjoined working to receive further blessing of the Sinister Gods.”


After years of blood, sweat, and sacrifice, W.T.C. Productions is proud to announce the release of SamaeLilith: A Conjunction of The Fireborn, set for international release on June 30th on double-CD and double-LP vinyl formats. This is a conceptual split release, with each band focused on venerating a different aspect of The Bloodline of Fire, culminating in a recording that works as a cohesive whole, even greater than the sum of its individual parts.

These are four sonically very different bands, each pushing the limits of what is known and expected of their art, whilst still honoring tradition. However, there is a common thread that ties this seamlessly together. This is particularly apparent when reading the lyrics – since despite being written independently, the language used throughout is cohesive in the strange and unusual choice of vernacular.  It is almost as if the words were penned by a single unseen hand.

SamaeLilith is the outcome of an unyielding and timeless fervor that dwells deep within the hearts of all artists involved. Indeed, it is this very same shared formless essence from where this work derives, manifesting itself as a veritable and blessed poison – A Conjunction of The Fireborn.

To complete this work, Vamperess Imperium has created a magnificent piece of art to adorn the cover of the album, a striking piece of artwork to give visual representation for each of the four sides of music and their respective holy currents, as well as a lavish layout design to unite the words and music contained within.

SamaeLilith: A Conjunction of The Fireborn was recorded between 2007 and 2020, but even though the split has been in the works for quite some time and the obstacles along the way have been numerous, this release has been definitely worth the wait.

In the meantime, hear a sample track from each band here:
