Ukraine’s atmospheric black metal band, Labyrinthus
Stellarum, has released a new single.
The song ‘Cosmic Plague’ is part
from the next album of the band, “Rift in
Reality”, which will be released in early 2025 (more
information coming soon). ‘Cosmic Plague’
is an atmospheric song, saturated with techno space synths,
again dedicated to THE VOID – the original world, the gods of which
the Nirlakhians worshiped, and its Queen.
Cosmic Plague is one of the heaviest and darkest tracks of Labyrinthus Stellarum. It tells the story of a catastrophic invasion by a race of ruthless parasites that are destroying life on entire planets. These creatures, born in the depths of the Void, were imprisoned there for eons, but after the rift between the worlds was opened, they broke free. Led by their Queen, they bring destruction to all living things, leaving behind only ruins and death.
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.

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.

Underground music is the ultimate weapon against mediocrity.
