ASCENSION – New Signing – October 30, 2014

Season of Mist is proud to announce the signing of occult black metal tyrants ASCENSION for North America. The band will release a new album, titled ‘The Dead of the World’ on December 24th in North America on CD and limited edition LP. The album artwork was created by WATAIN’s Erik Danielsson and can be viewed together with the tracklist below.

ASCENSION’s ‘The Dead of the World’ follows their ambitious debut album, ‘Consolamentum’ (2010). Through rare festival appearances and a penchant for orthodox black metal in both aural and visual presentation, ASCENSION have instantly become a staple in the European and North American black metal underground. The Germans have performed at prestigious festivals such as Maryland Deathfest, Deathkult Open Air, Hellfest and more, on the backs of well received EPs and a formidable full-length.
