Iberian extreme metal outfit *Noctem* are excited to reveal the details on their highly anticipated fourth studio album entitled *”Haeresis”*. Scheduled for release on September 30 via *Prosthetic Records* (N.America, UK/EU) and *Art Gates Records* (Spain), “Haeresis” consists of ten brutally punishing tracks which conceptually delve into the dark history of their home country of Spain. Complimenting cover artwork, as seen above, was completed by *Seth Siro Anton* (Septicflesh, Moonspell, Behemoth) and depicts an epic and grotesque display of obscene torture extracted from the Spanish inquisition (1.500 A.C.).
Noctem, consisting of Beleth (vocals), Exo (lead guitars), Ethell (rhythm guitars), Varu (bass) and Voor (drums), self-recorded and produced “Haerisis” earlier this year at *Firework Estudios* in Valencia before sending it to Sweden’s *Necromorbus Studio* for mixing and mastering by Tore Stjerna (Watain, Valkyrja).
The band collectively proclaimed: “This record is proof that a band like us can keep evolving with time. It looks, sounds, smells and tastes different from anything we’ve ever done while keeping our original essence in every track. We’re sure that any fan
of Extreme Metall will be satisfied with this new opus”.
