SUMERIAN TOMBS unveil the first spell from their upcoming ritual

Rising from the crypts of Cologne, SUMERIAN TOMBS have quickly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the underground Black Metal scene. Their fusion of furious aggression, haunting melodies, and deep mythological narratives has captivated fans and critics alike. Now, with their second full-length album, “Age of Eternal Night”,  the band continues its descent into the forgotten tombs of Sumer, where ancient blood gods and vampyric spirits await.

SUMERIAN TOMBS describe their sound as Epic Vampyric Black Metal, a term that encapsulates their blend of second-wave Black Metal ferocity, eerie atmospherics, and epic storytelling. Unlike many bands associated with vampiric themes, SUMERIAN TOMBS take a more ancient and primal approach, drawing inspiration from the Edimmu and Ekimmu, vampyric wind spirits from Mesopotamian mythology—far removed from the romanticized vampire imagery often found in gothic or symphonic metal.

A Tale of Forbidden Wisdom and Ancient Blood Gods…
“Age of Eternal Night” is a dark and immersive concept album that continues the story of the first album: The nameless pilgrim who descended into the darkness of an ancient tomb in the desert sands of Sumer – thirsting for forbidden knowledge and vampyric ascension. As he ultimately finds what he seeks and by the completion of profane and horrific rituals he finally transforms into an immortal ruler of darkness, blood and death. Breaking out of the forsaken depths of the netherrealm he unleashes unspoken horrors upon mankind – creating the primordial vampyric coven under the light of a blood moon. As the Gates of Ganzir open the death bells of Cuutha toll over blood stained sands – ushering in a new era of bloodshed and terror – an age of Vampyric Dominance – an Age of Eternal Night!

The album was once again recorded, mixed, and mastered by Mario Dahmen / Liquid Aether Audio. With the raw intensity and epic structure already present in their previous works, Age of Eternal Night stands out with an even denser atmosphere and a refined sonic balance. The production captures both the ferocious power of their Black Metal roots and the majestic, dark melodic grandeur that defines SUMERIAN TOMBS. Prepare to unlock the seal and embrace the Age of Eternal Night.

The album will be released on April 11 via Van Records, and will be available on CD + Bonus CD (April 18), Vinyl (May 2) & Digital (April 11). Follow the page here for pre-order options: https://van-records.com/Preorder.
