Hailing from US, Niveous reveal  their debut full-length offering, “Cult of the Void Star”. The cover art is an original oil painting by drummer Nortaath, capturing the essence of the record’s cosmic themes.

NIVEOUS is a black metal trio hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin (USA), formed in 2024 by Zygrath (Guitars), Vokar (Bass/Vocals), and Nortaath (Drums/Vocals). Drawing inspiration from first and second-wave black metal, the band crafts cold, aggressive music with a focus on atmosphere and immersive storytelling. After releasing the EP “Endless Snowfall” in 2025, Niveous returns this summer with their debut full-length album “Cult of the Void Star”, the first chapter in a narrative universe with interconnected lore that the band will continue to explore in future recordings.

When a vast monolith from deep space crashes into Earth and plunges the planet into a new ice age, a fanatical cult devoted to a timeless entity known as the Void Star rises amid the apocalyptic chaos. Opposing them are the Ice Tribes – human survivors adapted to the dark, frozen world. Their leader, Cala Garin, is the last living descendant of an ancient race known as the Sorn. War erupts between the Cult and Frostborne survivors as Earth is consumed by black storms and endless blizzards, the world reduced to a frozen wasteland.

As the Void Star hurtles through deep space toward the Monolith, time runs short for Cala and her resistance. When an unexpected signal begins transmitting from the far northern frontier, she gathers her strongest allies and leads a team northbound toward its source. Driven by hope, they vanish into the endless ice – unaware of who, or what, awaits them.

“Cult of the Void Star” is out now,  jointly released on LP and CD formats by Hypnotic Dirge Records in Europe and Void Star Productions in North America. The album will also be released on cassette by Silver Shield Records, distributed by Out Of Season.
