Dutch black metal force EMBRACED BY DARKNESS unveil the full album stream of their highly anticipated debut “Ex Inferis”, exclusively premiered today via Black Metal Promotion, ahead of its worldwide release tomorrow, October 31, 2025, through Non Serviam Records.
“Ex Inferis” is a furious yet melodic descent into the infernal — where relentless aggression collides with haunting atmospheres and death-infused ferocity. Produced by Anders Backelin (Lord Belial, Vassago, Trident) at Armageddon Studio, the record channels both classic and modern black metal intensity while carrying an unmistakably personal and existential tone.
Following the acclaimed singles Darkness Awaits and Death March, the album deepens the thematic arc of blasphemy, ruin, and transcendence — placing the listener at the edge of nihilism while threading a bleak, hypnotic refrain through serrated riffs and cavernous rhythms.

With live experience across Europe alongside Trident, Grief Of Emerald, and Omnicidal, the band channels pure chaos both on stage and in the studio. Their emblematic logo was designed by the legendary Christophe Szpajdel (Emperor, Moonspell, Dimmu Borgir).
