Spanish veterans NUMEN reveal their
fifth full-length offering, “Erre”. The
album is out now via Les Acteurs de l’ombre Productions
(https://www.lesacteursdelombre.net).
Numen is a black metal band from the Basque Country, inspired by
the region’s ancient beliefs. The band makes its grand return in
2026 with a ruthless new album, featuring uncompromising and epic
tracks that transport us to primitive and glacial ages, as well as
to their dark, pathless lands. These anthems, written and performed
entirely in Basque – one of Europe’s oldest living languages –
focus on the witch trials and the Inquisition in the Basque Country
in the early 17th century. A culturally unique work, rooted in
history and conceptually coherent.
