WATAIN (Sweden) - The Agony And Ecstasy Of Watain (sealed LP copy) (2022) Released by His Master's Noise & Nuclear Blast on Red w/Rainbow Splatter vinyl - limited to 1,800 copies. 
With their greatly anticipated 7th full-length studio album, Watain continues to arouse and electrify their audience with an unmistakable, adventurous brand of Black Metal Magic, processed and distilled over the course of a 25-year long history. 
Recorded live inside an old church on the Swedish countryside, The Agony & Ecstasy of Watain takes the listener one step closer to the innermost heart of a band that despite always being surrounded by rumors and controversy has always strived for the most sincere and genuine ways of expression. With 10 songs written by the founding trinity of Watain (E. Danielsson, H. Jonsson and P. Forsberg), it is also the first Watain album to be recorded with a full line up completed by A. Lillo, H. Eriksson and E. Forcas.
Here's a statement directly from the band regarding their new album:  "We have lived with this album among ourselves trembling like an infant upon the altar for a long time now, and today we shall finally set it free."
"It carries within it the madness and the mystery of all our accumulated experience, both savage and sublime. Our heartfelt veneration unto all that we deem sacred and true. 
A humble offering to the fires of the Devilgod that ever continue to rejuvenate us, to strengthen us, and to illuminate our path ahead.  -- To all of you who are ready to embrace it; may it take you far."  His Master's Noise  – FTW011, Nuclear Blast – 5844-1
