AVGRUM have made "Born of the Rope" available to hear on W.T.C. Productions’ official YouTube channel. The song is the second track on Womb of Death, the band’s debut album, which the label will release internationally on January 12, 2027, on CD, vinyl LP and cassette tape.
Abraxas Nox formed AVGRUM to explore journeys and inspirations arising from immersion in death. The project’s first demo, also called Womb of Death, appeared in 2017. Final shaping of the distinct debut full-length began in 2022.
Nox was joined by drummer Flo Musil, whose other bands include THEOTOXIN, THE NEGATIVE BIAS and AGRYPNIE. The two musicians worked with Necromorbus Studios on the album, with Nox handling strings and vocals and Musil playing drums.
The announcement describes the music as black metal rooted in the 1990s, particularly the Swedish school of spiraling melody, with broader atmospheric passages. Its account emphasizes Nox’s undulating string work and clearly articulated snarl alongside Musil’s balance of force, technical playing and shifts in dynamics. It also highlights a consistent atmosphere across the eight songs and crisp production.
The album includes both "Born of the Rope" and the separate title track, "Womb of Death." The supplied photographs are credited to Void Revelations.
