Norwegian black metal band NORDJEVEL have released “Unbound in Death,” the first single from their fourth full-length album Damnous, accompanied by an official music video. The track opens the campaign for the record, the band’s debut release for Season of Mist’s Underground Activists imprint, due for release on December 11th.

One of the album’s fastest and most intense pieces, “Unbound in Death” lives up to its title, driven by a fierce, demonic vocal delivery from Doedsadmiral. Damnous carries nine tracks of Doedsadmiral’s recurring lyrical territory, war, death, anti-Christianity and Norse mythology, sung across Norwegian and English. Guitars, bass and guest vocals were tracked at Studio Nyhagen with engineer Kjartan Hesthagen, and the album was mixed and mastered at Studio Fredman by Fredrik Nordström, who also handled the band’s previous album Gnavhòl.

Nordjevel formed in Askim, Norway in 2015 around vocalist Doedsadmiral. Three albums in, the arrival of guitarist Destructhor (ex-Morbid Angel, Myrkskog, Zyklon) pushed the band from a melodic, folk-inflected debut toward the denser, death-informed attack that now defines their sound. Behind Gnavhòl, they toured Europe alongside Taake, then Aeternus, and have played Inferno, Wacken, Hellfest, Bloodstock, Maryland Deathfest and Brutal Assault.
Damnous was produced by Kjartan Hesthagen at Studio Nyhagen and Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman. The album was mixed and mastered by Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman. Artwork is by Khaos Diktator Design, with photography by Necrolust Productions. The video for “Unbound in Death” was directed by Claudio Marino, produced by Artax Film.
