Ukraine’s atmospheric black metal band, Labyrinthus Stellarum, releases new single and lyric video for ‘Ravenous Planet.’
The song Ravenous Planet is one of the most progressive and
complex songs by Labyrinthus Stellarum. The initial demo for the
track was created in 2021, before the band was founded, and was an
ambient/new age composition. And only in 2024 did the demo begin
its transformation into a full-fledged Labyrinthus Stellarum
song.
The song tells the story of a space expedition in search of a new
habitable planet. But the planet the expedition arrives on, hoping
to become their new home, turns out to be a trap inhabited by a
swarm of creatures with a collective mind. The heroes of the song
fight the creatures, realizing that they are doomed.
Ravenous Planet is the first single from the next album Rift in
Reality, which will be released in early 2025. The new album will
be even more experimental and diverse than the previous one, and
will include both epic melodic tracks and heavy and aggressive
ones. The album will also feature a bit more clean vocals than
previous releases.
The album cover was designed by Mark Cooper, known for his work
with bands such as Rings of Saturn and Brand of Sacrifice.
Watch ‘Ravenous Planet’ here:
Labyrinthus Stellarum is a cosmic black metal band from Odesa, founded in 2021 by vocalist and songwriter Oleksandr Andronati and guitarist Oleksandr Kostetskyi. Later, they were joined by a second guitarist, Oleksandr Andronati’s brother, Misha. In 2023, they released their debut album Tales of the Void, which gained recognition for its blend of atmospheric black metal with elements of electronic music and cosmic-themed lyrics. Shortly after the album’s release, Oleksandr Kostetskyi left the band, and since then, Labyrinthus Stellarum has continued as a duo of the two brothers.
Their second album, Vortex of the Worlds, was released on April 6, 2024, solidifying Labyrinthus Stellarum’s place in the cosmic black metal scene alongside bands like Darkspace, Mesarthim, and Vorga. Despite their short existence, the band has performed with iconic Ukrainian black metal acts such as White Ward, and Colotyphus.
