Wampyric Rites - Captive in a Desolate Castle (single, 2022)

A new Wampyric Rites album is looming, rising slowly, drawing nearer, through the foggy night. It shall reach its ascendence on August 26th, when the howling of lupine reveries will pierce the chill dark with the release of The Wolves Howl at the Moon through Signal Rex. A band that keep delivering and growing in strength with each release, these associates of the Pure Raw Underground Black Metal Plague circle, the Old True Dungeon Synth Committee , and long-time friends of this channel, will unveil a new masterpiece of primal, elevated vampyric black metal to add a new milestone in their discography, complete with the exquisite flourish of the artwork by Ainul Iblis. In advance of this, I am very proud to present a new single track to whet your appetites. Captive in a Desolate Castle is as atmospheric, claustrophobic, chilling and euphoric as its title suggests, coming at the end of the album, it is a suitably climactic piece of blood-tranced, symphonic, dungeon black metal.
