6 years of silence since the release of the monumental “Topheth”, the mighty French black metallers NOVAE MILITIAE return with their third full-length offering, “Apocryphon Of The Unborn Light”, to be released via Serpent Sun Records on the 18th September. Pre-orders are active here: https://shorturl.life/kjCQQYGS.
Conceived as a structured body of six compositions spanning approximately 45 minutes, the album stands in continuity with the work previously developed by Novae Militiae, while further radicalizing its conceptual scope and internal coherence.
“Apocryphon of the Unborn Light” presents itself as a revelation preceding all creation, where light itself has yet to be born, and where the order of the world already appears destined for its own dislocation. The album unfolds through a non-linear yet cyclical progression, where fall, knowledge and inversion intersect, within a vision where the end is not an outcome, but an original condition.Each composition acts as a fragment within this whole, forming a coherent structure in which the visible and invisible frameworks of the world gradually fracture toward a point of rupture. Musically, the album is built upon a dark and incantatory form of black metal, alternating between extreme tension and more atmospheric passages, reinforcing an overall dynamic in which the distinction between creation and dissolution progressively dissolves, within a movement of dislocation confronting that which lies beyond.
Formed in 2009 in France, operating within the sphere of Orthodox Satanism and the left-hand path, where dark revelations manifest around the fall and the unseen structures that govern the order of the world. The group has been built upon anonymity, outside the traditional codes of exposure, and its members remain unknown to this day.
Through its compositions, Novae Militiae develops an oppressive and immersive form of black metal, rooted in biblical, apocryphal and esoteric sources, where music, texts and visuals converge towards a singular vision: that of a world in perpetual dislocation, traversed by unseen and irreconcilable forces.
A new era begins.
