The sulphurous gates creak open once again… Finland’s unholy cult Azazel returns with their fourth studio album, Ave Dominus Luciferi – a scorched-earth sermon of pure, irredeemable black metal madness. Set for release at the infernal hour of 6 pm on the 6th of June via Primitive Reaction, this black mass marks a new peak in Azazel’s blasphemous crusade.
AZAZEL – Ave Dominus Luciferi (Full album – Official)
Unapologetically raw, rabid, and perverted, Ave Dominus Luciferi is the grand black metal opus of Azazel – a deranged and triumphant vomit upon the altar of false light. This is not a reinvention, but a reaffirmation: Azazel stands as the diseased heart of Finnish black metal, pulsing stronger than ever.
To celebrate this milestone in unholy excess, Azazel will perform a special album release ritual at the Finnish Death Metal Maniacs Festival on the same cursed day – 6.6. at 6 pm. Expect chaos. Expect possession. Expect Azazel.
In conspiracy with this new offering, two of Azazel’s most classic abominations will also be unearthed in fresh editions: Crucify the Jesus Christ Again (demo ’93) and The Night of Satanachia (EP ’96). These seminal artifacts from the early ’90s will finally be available once more – raw relics of underground blasphemy, now resurrected to corrupt a new generation. And a reprint of the band’s third album, 2021’s Aegrum Satanas Tecum, will likewise follow.
Ave Dominus Luciferi – the Devil reigns, and Azazel is his herald.
