THE NEGATION – Memento Mori Due In July, Teaser Clip Uploaded

France’s nihilistic black metal act, The Negation, will release their sophomore album, Memento Mori, via Kaotoxin Records on July 7th in North America, July 10th for the rest of the world. It will be issued as a 500-copy limited edition deluxe three-panel DigiSleeve CD first press (followed by crystal / jewel box reprint) with 20-page booklet, as well as digitally; a teaser video can be seen below.

Produced at the Hybreed Studio (Temple Of Baal, Glorior Belli) and with artwork by Metastazis (Morbid Angel, Behemoth, Watain), Memento Mori features ten tracks of powerful, heavy, intense and extremely dark black metal. But don’t expect straightforward Satan-praise here: there’s far more than meets the eye with The Negation. Their lyrical conceptual is a call to resistance against the so-called élite who are making this world a living Hell. It’s about a stand for liberty, free speech, and free will! Folks that got the chance to witness The Negation on stage during their recent tour with Marduk and Belphegor will testify their live performance is as extreme as their lyrical content is dark. You’ve been warned.

The Negation will also take part in the second annual KaotoxinFest on December 5th in Lille, France. Until further details are announced, enjoy the official music video for the track “Red Wrath” taken from their debut full-length, Paths Of Obedience.
