BLAZE OF PERDITION Unleash “Upharsin” Full-Length Album, Out Now

Upharsin, the sixth full-length from long-running Polish black metal unit BLAZE OF PERDITION, was released yesterday, April 19th via Metal Blade Records!

A step back from the somewhat curious direction the band charted on 2020’s The Harrowing Of Hearts, BLAZE OF PERDITION‘s Upharsin, written entirely in the native language, takes on a dark and pessimistic tone reflected by its appropriately oppressive music. Haunting and melancholic melodies rooted in traditional black metal meet unforgiving blastbeats and solemn marches, while emotional yet feral vocals aim to bring a proper sense of rage and disgust.

Comments the band, “The album reflects on how humans tend to gravitate towards conflict and strife. How religions and politics as well as other aspects of our everyday life are tainted and driven by our lower instincts as we willingly refuse to learn from our own history, as we choose to ignore and neglect the shadow aspect of our psychic reality, which in turn takes us further and further in the everlasting cycle of violence. It’s probably the most realistic concept we’ve taken on, with noticeably less spiritual leanings and a much more grounded approach.”
