More about 'Cult Of The Serpent Sun'

NITE's third album, 'Cult of the Serpent Sun', emerges from the shadows with a tantalizing blend of blackened heavy metal. The album is an exploration of mythological darkness that has long lay dormant, awaiting awakening. It is a tour de force of fiery guitar leads, powerful bass lines, and commanding drumming that hark back to an era when metal was raw and unfiltered. Each track is a testament to the band's evolution and their relentless pursuit to push the boundaries of heavy metal. The title track sets a venomous tone right from the start, demanding attention with its urgent riffs and haunting vocals. 'Crow (Fear the Night)' is a fierce anthem that calls for unity amidst chaos—its rallying cry echoes through each chord progression. Meanwhile, 'The Mystic' introduces a slower tempo that captivates with its hypnotic allure, pulling listeners into an otherworldly realm where time seems to stand still.

Van Labrakis' vocals are a standout element throughout 'Cult of the Serpent Sun'. His voice carries the weight of experience and defiance, especially on tracks like 'Carry On', which delves into themes of war and resilience. The album closes with 'Winds of Sokar', a fitting finale that leaves listeners in awe of NITE's ability to weave complex narratives through their music. With artwork by Adam Vick complementing the sonic experience, this record is not just another addition to NITE's discography but a pivotal moment that cements their place in the heavy metal pantheon.
