Sweden’s Ofermod includes members of such bands as Serpent Noir, Nefandus, Head of the Demon, and Mortuus (among others). The band’s first EP was released in 1998 and their subsequent releases have included two albums (in 2008 and 2012) and a 2014 EP (Serpents Dance). They are now at work on a new album named Sol Nox that will be released by Shadow Records at some point later this year, which will include lyrics written by Dr. Thomas Karlsson, founder of the draconian Order Dragon Rouge. The striking artwork was created by Cold Poison. A few days ago the first single appeared — a track named “The Alpha of the Antichrist”. Ofermod bring it hard and fast, capturing a feeling of boiling chaos and wild ferocity surrounded by the vapors of otherworldly, occult mystery and looming magnificence. The vocals alone are pure fire.
