Occult black metal tyrants ASCENSION have released “Deathless Light”, the first track taken from their forthcoming new album, ‘The Dead of the World’ here. The band will release ‘The Dead of the World’ on December 24th in North America on CD, via Season Of Mist. The track list and album art for ‘The Dead of the World’ can be seen below.

ASCENSION’s ‘The Dead of the World’ follows the band’s ambitious debut album, ‘Consolamentum’ (2010). Through rare festival appearances and a penchant for orthodox black metal in both aural and visual presentation, ASCENSION has instantly become a staple in the European and North American black metal underground. The German band has played prestigious festivals such as Maryland Deathfest, Deathkult Open Air, HellFest and more, on the backs of a well received EP, Demo, and formidable full length.

Tracklisting:
1. The Silence of Abel
2. Death’s Golden Temple
3. Black Ember
4. Unlocking Tiamat
5. Deathless Light
6. The Dark Tomb Shines
7. Mortui Mundi

ASCENSION have announced their first-ever European tour. The “Under Four Wings of Death” tour starts on February 19 and will see the band hit various territories across Europe including Germany, France, The United Kingdom, and more. More information about the tour will be available soon.
