Two years since they first introduced themselves to the world with the raw, tumultuous power of debut album Malvs, Belgian black metal force Nyrak have returned…and this time they carry with them a second album, a tome of twilight terrors to swallow your very soul. Formed of seven songs – seven serpents, seven secrets – each driven by the implacable force of the storm, each staggering in their dark, hypnotic grandeur, together they become a tale of terror told by music wild, dramatic and untameable. Together they become Devourer Of All.
Opening with the blazing majesty of ‘Eyes Of Time’, Devourer Of All sweeps the listener into its maelstrom of sound, taking the heart and soul in an unbreakable grip. We are transported across the vast vistas of a kingdom locked in perpetual shadow, our reality undone by the irresistible onslaught on our senses and imagination. Steeped in the insidious essence of Scandinavian black metal and infused with breathtaking atmosphere and a vibrant, unfettered creative approach, songs like the staggering ‘Oceans Of Lies’ progress from narrative chapter to narrative chapter, moving from one musical movement to the next with deft poise and flair. These songs are veritable symphonies of the night! First formed by Guy Van Nieuwenhove (aka Nevel) in 2021, originally as a solo studio project, Nyrak has developed at a prodigious rate, growing from a seed of imagination and creative ambition to become a masterful invocation of sinister sonic sorcery.
Adorned in the darkly dreaming artwork of Phoenix Mortis Art and mixed and mastered to ruinous perfection at Project Zero Recording Studio (Nervosa, Serpents Oath, Carnation etc) Devourer Of All will be unleashed upon the world on May 3rd. With this album Nyrak have begun to shape their own mythology of nightmares within black metal’s haunted kingdom. A new bombast of devils rides out beneath the hunters’ moon
