Night Shall Drape is a brotherhood of musicians, constantly driven to create impactful music throughout their long careers. Lunatic Choir was born from LRH’s mind and recorded solo, but he gathered Wraath, Infection and Spellgoth to complete the songs with vocals, making this album a glorious manifestation of their collective talents.

Lunatic Choir features eight perfect hymns to Nordic black metal, offering fast blast beats with raw yet melodic riffs. 

The album’s lead single, “Under the Dead Sky”, is a hymn of profane melodic cacophony, harsh with riffs and forceful tremolo picking underneath layered vocals. “One with the beasts of the black flame,” the band chants in dedication to holy death.

“The Queen of the Red Streams” is a tithe to Nordic black metal of the 90s, driven forward with relentless drums, haunting acoustic melodies, and an inevitable inertia toward the altar of the dark mother.

With third single, “Ashes of Men”, Night Shall Drape Us deliver a hymn harking back to the early ties between thrash and black metal; the persistent layered riffs under the ash-choked coughs of the choir allow no peace for this coming of the end of times.

“The incarnation of Night Shall Drape Us was a long time coming,” explains LRH, “We were driven to create traditional and melodic black metal in the vein of the best offerings of the 90s, which inspired all of us to walk the path we’re on. We’re truly proud of what we’ve put together here.”

A blaze in the northern sky…

Night Shall Drape Us was born from the mind of LRH, who recorded all of the drums and guitars on their debut album. But it wasn’t fully consecrated until his blood brothers joined to sing these eight heretical hymns. Fast, melodic and uncompromisingly raw, Lunatic Choir is black metal executed to perfection.

“Ashes of Men” heralds the certainty of the end of the world as we know it. The song opens directly into fast-paced drums with an interplay of thrashy riffs before the Lunatic Choir raises unholy hell. 

“See the flames rise higher and higher”, they call. “See the oceans dry up and die!”    

Harking back to the early ties between thrash and black metal, the persistent layered riffs under the ash-choked coughs of the choir in “Ashes of Men” allow no peace for this coming of the end times. 

This song reinforces each moment with the relentless rolling beat of the drums and the unforgiving thrash-souled riffs, the demented acceptance that all there is left is a future built from dust. 

“This is the straightforward, thrashy soundtrack for the end of it all,” Night Shall Drape Us shares. “That’s all there is.”

“By this flame, you all shall be purified.”

Watch the video for “The Queen of the Read Streams”: 

“The Queen of the Red Streams” is a tithe to the Nordic black metal of the ’90s. Opening with what promises to be their signature-style melodic riff interplay with blast beats, the song wanes into a haunting acoustic melody before waxing back under the echoing calls of the lunatic choir.

The relentless drums drive the song forward through a guitar solo that’s just long enough to catch your breath, then push ever closer to the altar of the dark mother, who awaits her bloody work. “The Queen of the Red Streams” lures you in and then drags you away with its force of inevitable inertia.

“We traverse the arteries of timeless tunnels towards the illusory veil of life and death” says Night Shall Drape Us. “Mesmerized by the eternal dance, we submit our lives to cross the veil. She shall reap all that is false and set us free.”

The video for “The Queen of the Red Streams” was written and directed by Tommi Niukkanen (@tomminseteli1000).

Last summer, Night Shall Drape Us signed with Season of Mist to spread their melodically unyielding black metal over the world. Though they came together from far corners of the Nordic underground, these brothers are united by blood and a spirit for creating new music throughout their long careers.

Today, Night Shall Drape Us are announcing their debut album. Lunatic Choir features eight fast, melodic and uncompromising black metal hymns. While born from his mind and recorded solo, LRH gathered the unholy alliance to complete the songs with vocals, making this album a glorious manifestation of their collective talents.

Watch the profane video for lead single ‘Under the Dead Sky‘:

“Under the Dead Sky” is black metal perfectly executed and sung by a relentless choir of lunatics. The blast beats are raw; the riffs are harsh and the tremolo picking is forceful underneath the layered vocals, forming a hymn of profane melodic cacophony. The melodic interlude only comes with the peace of death’s embrace.      

“One with the beasts of the black flame”, the band chant in dedication to fast, melodic, uncompromising black metal.

Night Shall Drape Us describe the song as a fiery, blistering descent into the arms of Holy Death.
