Dutch blackened death metal behemoths MISANTHROPIA have unveiled a chilling new chapter in their sonic onslaught with the lyric video release for “Fade Into The Abyss.” This is a pulse-pounding first taste of their forthcoming concept album, “Envy The Dead,” set to be unleashed upon the world on September 6th, 2024, via Wormholedeath Records.
“Fade Into The Abyss” paints a chilling portrait of Mary Ann Cotton, a notorious 19th-century English serial killer, emphasizing her role as a deceptive and deadly figure whose legacy of horror and sorrow remains impactful through the ages.
The lyric video visualizes the song’s sinister narrative, capturing the essence of a woman whose legacy of terror continues to haunt the living.
MISANTHROPIA is no stranger to sonic devastation. For over 20 years, they’ve carved a path through the metal scene with their unique blend of Blackened fury and Death Metal aggression. Their longstanding partnership with legendary producer/engineer MIKE WEAD (Mercyful Fate, King Diamond) continues on ‘ENVY THE DEAD’, ensuring a potent and punishing listening experience.
“Envy The Dead” is a concept album that conjures a dark, gritty atmosphere inspired by historical horrors like Jack The Ripper and necromancy. Moving away from symphonic elements, it embraces a progressive Death/Thrash vibe with influences from Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Necrophobic, Mayhem, and Death. Mike Wead (Mercyful Fate, King Diamond) is behind the engineering, mixing, and mastering.
