It is a great honour to officially announce the release of De l’Abîme Naît l’Aube's debut record "Rituel: Initiation" this evening! The culmination of years of creation and refinement from the band and months of preparation on my end, the time when we can finally share the album in full and present it as a complete listening experience is something special.
In collaboration with Atmospheric Black Metal Albums, the album is premiering now on Youtube! You can find it on their channel, as well as on ours and the band's. As always, now that the album is released, you will also find it available for unlimited streaming and "name-your-price" download on the Hypnotic Dirge Bandcamp and Ampwall!
For those who crave something more tangible, the CD's - presented as a 6 Panel Digipack - are also officially released today and shipping now!
Bundles (Shirts, Patches, Metallic Pins, Stickers) are available to order and shipping later this month, while limited DLP's in three colour variants are available to pre-order with shipping scheduled for April!
All purchases of physical media and donations on the digital album help keep Hypnotic Dirge sustainable and are always much appreciated!
Thank you and enjoy the record!
"From the Abyss, the Dawn is Born"
• Album Notes •
Conceived as a ritualistic journey through sound, De l’Abîme Naît l’Aube’s debut album explores themes of transcendence, disintegration and rebirth through five immersive tracks. Carved in the tension between heaviness and silence, each piece evolves like a rite of passage: carried by hypnotic guitars, dynamic contrasts, and a dual vocal approach blending harsh blackened screams, throat singing and ethereal folkish harmonies.
Rooted in post-metal and reaching into ritual folk and black metal, the album evokes spiritual transformation through trance-like build-ups, tribal percussion and atmospheric layers.
