Italian extreme metallers Darkend will release their new and third album entitled The Canticle Of Shadows on April 25th via Non Serviam Records.

Darkend stands for Extreme Ritual Art: a combination of ancient ceremonial chants mixed with arcane symphonies, nocturnal ambiences and Sulphur riffs engraved on black metal patterns.

Featuring guest appearances of Attila Csihar (Mayhem), Niklas Kvarforth (Shining), Sakis Tolis (Rotting Christ) and Labes C. Necrothytus (Abysmal Grief), the band’s new album is a further step towards the abyss, taking every element to the extreme: a darker, heavier and far more intense monument than ever before.
