New Album “A Fate Engraved” Out June 20th, 2025
With just a few weeks until the release of his new album “A Fate Engraved”, Synth-Based Black Metal artist Morningstvr has released the final advance single and music video for “Whispers of a Nameless Fear”. The nearly four-minute track serves as the penultimate piece on the album and represents some of Sam Tchortov’s most atmospheric and evocative work to date. He comments on what to expect:
“Taking a line from the intro dialogue to Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, the outro track of the album brings forth the themes of a dark fall, creating a more atmospheric sense, giving a taste of what the next album shall entail, the lyrical content consists of how I find peace in certain atmospheric settings and specific parts of the year, its ending with strong winds gives the listeners an eerie sense of what is to come next.”
“Whispers of a Nameless Fear” draws heavily from Tolkien-inspired themes, evident in both its title and composition. The track weaves haunting synth passages with relentless percussion and Morningstvr‘s signature winterous vocals to create a soundscape that evokes ancient dread and forgotten prophecies. Following the releases of “The Last of the Northern Kingdoms” and “Dethroned”, this third single completes a trilogy of advance tracks that together offer listeners a comprehensive preview of the album’s scope and ambition.
The accompanying music video furthers the medieval aesthetic established in previous releases while introducing elements of occult imagery that hint at the album’s darker themes. With this final single now available to the public, anticipation builds for the June 20th release of “A Fate Engraved”, which Morningstvr describes as ‘the bridgepiece’ connecting his previous work to the concluding chapter of his ‘Unholy Trinity’. The complete album will feature twelve tracks spanning over 44 minutes, continuing the narrative begun with 2024’s “In Memoriam of the Blvck Wind”. This black metal feast is recommended listening for fans of Hekseblad, Hulder, and Axius Link.
