Cult of Fire, the insane Czech black metal act whose spellbinding sophomore album मृत्यु का तापसी अनुध्यान 's brilliant mix of frenetic black metal and scintillating Eastern instrumentals earned them a last-minue place on many best-of lists last year, are slated to release a new EP, Čtvrtá Symfonie Ohně (Czech for 'Fourth Symphony of Fire', appropriately) this December. To that end, the band have debuted a new song from the album, 'Vltava'. With regards to its name, all I can find is that the Vltava is the longest river in the Czech Republic.
While this seems to suggest a more patriotic slant for the upcoming EP, 'Vltava' is Cult of Fire at their best - frenetic, chaotic drums rattle against the backdrop as the guitars weave an epic atmosphere that pummels the listener to death, reminding me of Canadian black metallers Forteresse at times. While the sitar will definitely be missed, Čtvrtá Symfonie Ohně will definitely feature that blistering Cult of Fire sound we've all been thirsting after.
You can stream 'Vltava' below. Čtvrtá Symfonie Ohně will be released by Iron Bonehead on December 8th.
