NAGA Announce New Album Void Cult Rising on Spikerot Records
Void Cult Rising is the third full-length from Italy’s screamy post-metal lurchers NAGA and it’ll be released in November through Spikerot Records following three years behind Inanimate, which came out on Lay Bare Recordings. I didn’t get to write about that album, because I suck at this, but it’s available as a name-your-price download now, so that’s convenient, and if you happen to be unfamiliar with the band — possible — makes a likewise rousing and grim introduction, what with the plod and the atmosphere and whatnot. I’m gonna be telling you how to live your life all day today — it’s just that kind of day, sorry — but if you’ve got headphones handy and don’t care about blowing out your ears, do it up right.
The announcement came down the PR wire, like announcements do:
Blackened Doom Metal trio NAGA sign with Spikerot Records!
New album to be unleashed in November 2019
Spikerot Records is thrilled to announce the signing of the Italian Blackened Doom monster NAGA. The Naples-based three-piece is deeply grounded in the sulphurean atmosphere of their land and known to deliver a great amount of distortion, heaviness and nihilism. The band’s new album will be the third full-length after the fortunate ‘Hen’ and ‘Inanimate’ and it’s due to be unleashed in November 2019 under the name of ‘Void Cult Rising’.
“It is surely our most elaborate album to date” says NAGA’s frontman Lorenzo De Stefano. “Its development took longer than usual due to personal issues that have been affecting us in the last three years. Despite all this we find the final output fully satisfying, it’s the album where we dared the most and tried to find diverse solutions compared to our previous works, both on a musical and songwriting level, things that are leading us towards new territories”.
From a lyrical point of view “Void Cult Rising is a meditation on death from a personal perspective, like for example losing someone dear, but also a global one like the end of all things”.
About joining the Spikerot roster, De Stefano adds “We are so happy to start working with Spikerot Records, hence with our lifelong friend Davide. They’re an ambitious label and it’s been our first and last choice since the end of the recording sessions”.
NAGA pick up where they left off. Expect a masterpiece of grief and nihilism, a true bliss for fans of Tryptikon, Unearthly Trance, Craft and Amenra.
Watch out for many more news, details and album tunes to follow in the days ahead!

Lorenzo – (Vocals and guitar)
