‘Beyond the Veil of Light,’ the first track revealed from ISENBLÅST’s second album, Destructing the Constraints of Time, is available to hear on W.T.C. Productions’ official YouTube channel. The song appears fourth on the ten-track record, which the label will release internationally on January 12, 2027, on CD and vinyl LP.
The Detroit black metal band have been developing their sound since 2009. A series of demos and EPs preceded their debut album, Screams in Cold Silence, released in 2017. Occasional live appearances followed while ISENBLÅST worked toward this second full-length.
The announcement presents Destructing the Constraints of Time as a continuation of the debut’s approach, with more precise songwriting and execution. Its description emphasizes fast riffs, frequent changes and a sustained primal force, alongside lead guitar work that takes a more prominent role than on the first album.
That emphasis on leads provides another point of distinction between the two records. The press text describes guitar lines that ‘take on a narrative life all their own,’ while characterizing the debut as a rough-hewn, imaginative approach to second-wave black metal revivalism.
For the new album’s musical reference points, the announcement compares ISENBLÅST’s sound to a combination of Sorhin and Peru’s Mortem. It places that comparison alongside the way 1990s Nifelheim incorporated mid-1980s South American influences into Scandinavian black metal. These are the announcement’s descriptions of the band’s developing musical identity.
