Urgehal unleash new track featuring Darkthrone frontman Nocturno Culto

In a previous article we gave the news of the release of Urgehal’s new album Aeons in Sodom on February 12 2016 on Season of Mist. The article said also that the album was a tribute to former songer Trondr Nefas who passed away in May 2012. As we explained, the album features a lot of black metal stars, and that article also included a streaming of the song “The Sulphur Black Haze” with Hoest on vocals (click here to listen).

When Trondr Nefas sadly passed away of natural causes at the age of 34 on May 13th in 2012 this also sealed the end of Urgehal. Out of friendship, respect and as a tribute to their late singer and guitarist, the Norwegians decided to go ahead with producing a final album. Half of the material on Aeons in Sodom was written by Trondr with the other half contributed by guitarist Enzifer. Urgehal invited close friend and band mates from other projects of Nefas to contribute and those honoured in this way all joined to pay homage.

Aeons in Sodom is therefore a very special record – a work coming from the heart that is truly keeping the faith and spirit of original Norwegian black metal. This album is adhering to the principles that Trondr Nefas demanded to be followed such as a strict policy of using satanic and misanthropic lyrics as well as a dirty and harsh sound.

Urgehal have reached the end of their road with Aeons in Sodom, but the black metal icons are going out with a massive strike more than worthy of this occasion.

Now, Urgehal have premiered another song, “The Iron Children”, featuring none other than Darkthrone’s Nocturno Culto on vocals. Click on the player below to listen!
