NEWS: Labyrinthus Stellarum escape the cosmic plague?

If the artwork of “Rift in Reality” by Ukrainian Cosmic Black Metal act Labyrinthus Stellarum looks familiar that’s because it was drawn by Mark Cooper, known for working with bands such as Rings of Saturn and Brand of Sacrifice. The band shared “Cosmic Plague” as the third single from the album, which will be released in the spring of 2025. The promise is of something more experimental and diverse than 2024’s “Vortex of the Worlds” combining atmospheric, melodic compositions with hard, aggressive tracks, creating a unique journey through the darkness of space.

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.
