Hailing from Australia, old school Black Metal veterans VAHRZAW have unleashed their brand new track “Phosphorescent Sunrise”, the third and final single from the band’s upcoming fifth studio album “In The Shallows Of A Starlit Lake”, which will be coming out on January 27 via Bitter Loss Records.

A constant in the Australian underground, having formed 30 years ago, Vahrzaw‘s new album will be the follow up to last years critically acclaimed “The Trembling Voices Of Conquered Men”, and shows a return to the bands early Black Metal roots. “In The Shallows Of A Starlit Lake” is a total of 7 tracks of raw, cold Black Metal, incorporating atmospheric soundscapes and comes in at over 40 minutes!

Vahrzaw comments: “Superficially, Phosphorescent Sunrise is a story about a girl who stalks and butchers a dog. The audience is witnessing the birth of a serial killer. But, at it’s core, it’s an exploration of Freud’s concept of displacement. The girl is angry with someone more powerful, but she cannot express this anger. So, she lashes out at something safe; the dog.“

Listen to “Pale Lechery” here:

Vahrzaw on “Pale Lechery”: “A song of vile infanticide where the spectre of a man’s daughter returns nightly to remind him of his foul deed and to make him pay his penance in blood, only for him to reawaken the next day pleading for the end. Heavily drawn from the symphonic driven black metal of the early 90s.“
