Finnish extreme metal sensation MORMÂNT DE SNAGOV is proud to unleash their latest sonic beast: the single and lyric video, “Upon Their Feeble Existence”. This captivating track is a glimpse into the band’s forthcoming album, “Invocation Through Revocation,” scheduled to drop on November 17th, 2023, via Wormholedeath.
Founded in the dark heart of Turku and Naantali, Finland, Mormânt De Snagov has been carving a relentless path through the metal landscape, and “Invocation Through Revocation” marks their fifth studio offering.
“Upon Their Feeble Existence” ventures into uncharted territory for the band, weaving elements of gothic metal into their signature style. The track’s magnetic allure is accentuated by scorching solo guitar passages, a hallmark of Mormânt De Snagov’s post-fourth album evolution. Be prepared for a mind-bending surprise in the song’s midst—an auditory attack fueled by furious and relentless blast beats, unorthodox chord progressions, and a vocal scream of unprecedented duration. No studio wizardry here; just raw, unbridled passion.
The lyrics of this track delve deep into themes of mortality and the finite nature of human existence. Penned during a period of profound personal loss for one of the band members, the verses reverberate with the haunting echoes of death, while the chorus delves into the realms of nihilism and enlightened darkness.
Brace yourself for an infernal descent into the abyss as we announce the unholy union of Finnish melodic black metal masters, MORMÂNT DE SNAGOV, and Wormholedeath!Prepare to be submerged by the searing darkness of their forthcoming opus, “Invocation Through Revocation,” set to be released on November 17, 2023.
In a statement that echoes through the depths of the underground scene, Mormânt De Snagov declared, “Mormânt De Snagov is truly excited about signing the deal with WormHoleDeath. We have been operating deep in the underground for 15 years now, and although it has been very good for us, and the labels we’ve worked with have been fantastic, we felt this might be our time to step up in the game. We feel that WormHoleDeath can offer us just the right channels to release ‘Invocation Through Revocation,’ which we are obviously very proud of.”
“Invocation Through Revocation” marks the fifth installment in Mormânt De Snagov’s infernal odyssey. This sonic odyssey is an intoxicating blend of relentless aggression, icy melancholy, and majestic orchestral harmonies. Sinister progressiveness and a blackened urge to triumph are woven into every track. From relentless, high-velocity bursts to hauntingly harmonic guitar solos, and from thrashy death metal eruptions to melodic, mesmerizing choruses, this album offers an unforgettable journey into the abyss.
The album was crafted between June 2022 and November 2022 amidst the haunting beauty of the Finnish countryside. This remote locale allowed the band to channel their dark, atmospheric vision into the seven tracks that make up “Invocation Through Revocation.” The result is an album where all the enchanting elements of darkness are visible and striking.
1. Absurdity Ingrained 2. Perennial Bliss 3. Upon Their Feeble Existence 4. Revocation Through Invocation 5. The Cloak of Doctrine 6. Heretic Inception 7. Valediction for the Nameless
Mormânt De Snagov, hailing from the Turku and Naantali regions of Finland, was forged in 2008 by a cadre of seasoned metal veterans. Over their 15-year career, their sonic evolution has been nothing short of a blackened metamorphosis, fusing elements from diverse genres while retaining their core of hateful black metal. Their lyrical themes, once wrapped in old horror story classics, have evolved alongside their music. The name of the band refers to old horror story classics, and during the first years, Mormânt De Snagov actually used horror stories as frames for their dark ideology in the lyrics, accompanied by a raw black metal sound. The members of Mormânt De Snagov have also released several previous efforts through multiple bands and the collective CV nametags such groupings as Fall of the Leafe, Ablaze in Hatred, Searing Meadow, Malefic by Design, Leaflet, and Devastracktor.
This is the band’s moment to shine on a grander stage, and they’re poised to unleash their sonic malevolence upon the world.

Here’s what the band says about the new album: “The album sounds spectacular bringing even more melodic elements to the sound of Mormânt De Snagov, yet keeping the hateful core as extreme as it used to be.”
After releasing a first single (Words Corrupted Lyric Video here: https://youtu.be/rWO3JB3PBwo) taken off their upcoming fourth studio album, Exquisite Aspects Of Wrath, Finnish Black Metal quartet MORMÂNT DE SNAGOV reveal yet another single, Themis Supreme, now online here:
Here’s the band’s thoughts on the new single: “Themis Supreme represents the more aggressive side of our new album. The idea for this song was based on the verse drum beat which is very much different than the basic blastbeat one might expect. P. Jokela somehow magically created this beat combining perfectly aggression and speed with progressive elements. The chorus of this song is more death metallish, creating a very cool contrast with the furious verse. The lyrics are based on a specific book trilogy, which is pretty obvious to those who’ve read it. However, the lyrics are not just storytelling, but as always, we tried to bring up some thoughts about us humans as species.”
