Black metal band Nixil have recently announced that they have made a pact with Prosthetic Records. The band will release their upcoming second album From the Wound Spilled Forth Fire on August 25. The band have also released the lead single “Collapsing the Poles” together with the music video.
Watch the music video for “Collapsing The Poles” below:
The band share their thoughts:
“From the Wound Spilled Forth Fire is the manifestation of will of five individuals in collaboration, clawing toward catharsis and escape from the oppressive grasp of this rotting society. It is about finding power through adversity and the increase of spirit that can be gained through the intentional death of what our feeble human minds perceive as “Self.” It is also a magickal act, containing hymns of rebellion and strength in honor of the teachers and muses along the ever winding path toward liberation.”
The band also adds:
“Collapsing the Poles is our siren song, heralding the breaking of the chains of demiurgic oppression through the recognition and eradication of the restrictive tendencies within the self (microcosm), allowing for the advancement of adversarial energy outward toward the seemingly unshakably oppressive forces of That Which Is (macrocosm). It is also an invocation of Void, creating a sacred space for all that which we seek to put out into the world, and a reminder that even in the moments where it seems unreachable, freedom is always worth fighting for.”
According to the press release:
Collapsing the Poles serves as an introduction to From the Wound Spilled Forth Fire’s spiritual themes of liberation through abyssal exploration.
