NAXEN ◆ ÄERA ◆ USURPATOR

MAJESTY OF NIGHT TOUR.

NAXEN is a German black metal band started in 2018 by LN (Vocals/Guitars) and the core line-up is constituted by SP (Bass) and FH (Drums). Their sound can be described as their own path between traditional cold Scandinavian black metal, bleak Eastern European melodies and the atmospheric aspects of USBM, an aggressive take on Depressive Black Metal that echoes with darkness and despair.
NAXEN re#ects on the weakness of mankind and the sadness of existence in both their lyrics, aesthetics and songs. After the release of the acclaimed EP ‘To Abide in Ancient Abysses’ on Vendetta Records, they soon started to build their live reputation as a thriving force to reckon with. Their debut album’“ Towards The Tombs of Time’ followed in 2020, exceeded expectations and collected raving reviews. In 2020 and 2021 they released „Of Fainting Flesh In Futile Flesh“ a Live Session EP and „The Perilous Path Of Pain EP“ continuing their sermon of darkness, death and despair. They have previously shared the stage with acts like Spectral Wound (CAN), Afsky (DK), Gaerea (PT), White Ward (UKR), Turia (NL), Antlers (DE) and Sun Worship (DE). Their newest full-length „Descending Into A Deeper Darkness“ gained the Black Metal underground’s attention and beyond.

Support:

USURPATOR was founded in 2017 as a one-man project by N.V in Vienna. Stylistically, the music can be assigned to black metal, with influences from death and doom metal.
In 2022, the first full-length album “Atonement” was released on vinyl via Church of Eradication with even more speed and aggression. With musicians from bands like Schwarzkristall and Apathie, a line-up has now been found to finally bring the project to the stage. N.V takes over drums and vocals, so that Usurpator appears as a 4-piece.
