Portugal’s dark death metal conjurors THE OMINOUS CIRCLE have returned from the shadows with the first glimpse of their long-awaited sophomore album, Cloven Tongues of Fire. The new track, “Through Tunnels Ablaze”, is now streaming in full at Osmose Productions’ official YouTube channel.
Set for international release on November 28 via Osmose Productions, Cloven Tongues of Fire marks the band’s first full-length release since 2017’s Appalling Ascension, and it pushes their sound into even darker, more volatile territory.
A maelstrom of fire and relentless chaos, Cloven Tongues of Fire is both a witness to wickedness and a testament to the arts of extremity. Across 43 minutes of blackened death metal devastation.
From the manic assault of “Through Tunnels Ablaze” to the nine-minute monolith “Utterance of the Formless”, the record unfolds like a ritual invocation.
Cloven Tongues of Fire stands as both a continuation and a reinvention of the band’s unholy doctrine.
