NEWS: Drown in Sulphur warn of “Strix”!

Blending the nostalgic fury of MySpace-era Deathcore with grim Black Metal influences “New Moon Rising on Florence” from Italian Blackened Deathcore heavyweights Drown in Sulphur seems to mark a deliberate shift towards a less symphonic, more hardcore-driven sound. Having washed off the corpse paint with their last album “Vengeance“, the band have once again introduced a new line up with a new EP titled “Strix” set for 11th September via new label home Noble Demon.

The band comment: “With ‘New Moon Rising On Florence’, we wanted to capture a sound that is entirely authentic and recognizable to the Drown In Sulphur name. Following our recent lineup changes, we entered a period of deep reflection. We knew we needed a change, a return to something rawer and more grounded in our origins, yet adapted for the modern era. We stripped back the symphonic layers to let the pure, unfiltered aggression take over. The result is a track that feels incredibly organic and devastating.”

“Thematically, this song and the wider EP dive deep into esoteric, biblical, and dystopian contexts, heavily intertwining Masonic references. It all revolves around the mythological figure of the ‘Strix’, the ancient nocturnal bird of ill omen. Florence becomes the backdrop for this dark ritual, signaling a new, rebellious vision of the world where ancient horrors resurface in modern times.”

“We’re delighted to announce our partnership with Noble Demon Records, a new growing and professional label. We can’t wait to embark on a new journey and a new adventure with their help and support. There will be lots of news and, above all, new music on the way”
