Following the recent announcement of their highly anticipated fifth full-length record, “The Second Death” (set for release on December 4 via Vendetta Records), UK black metal outfit NECRONAUTICAL have unveiled the official music video for their brand-new single, “Shadow Work”. The track offers another deep dive into the dark, introspective themes of the upcoming album, following the previously released first single, “Enemy Of The Grave”.
Speaking about the concept and creation behind the video, the band comments: “We are pleased to present the music video for ‘Shadow Work’. The title refers to the spiritual practice of exploring and integrating the unconscious and hidden aspects of the self. Also known as Nekyia: a ritual used to question the ghosts of the dead to shape your future.
The video was created to serve this concept, with our protagonist trying to escape his confines, only to learn he is imprisoned by his own self.
‘Shadow Work’ was filmed in a disused prison in the north of England by James Goodwin and Courtney Sherives, who also directed and edited the video.“

Crafted through five years of painstaking and passionate dedication, “The Second Death” stands as the band’s most ambitious and diverse work to date. Spanning from spacious ambient Gothic passages to all out Extreme Blackened death, this album takes you on a twisted journey: leaving no stone un-turned. The diverse themes are tied together with an emotional and impassioned vocal delivery, and lyrics that expose dark and personal reflections on the darkest times in the life of the writer, creating a surprisingly personal and emotive album from the total chaos of painful existence, taking the listener on an ice cold voage through anguish and despair, towards a stoic and resolute conclusion.
This is an album about seeing, knowing and defeating your demons: Death is when you leave this world, The Second Death is the last time anybody utters your name. The distance between them is the measure of the impact of a live.
“The Second Death” will be out December 4 and is available for pre-order via Vendetta Records [HERE] and the band’s Bandcamp [HERE]
