Texas has been swamped by a brutal heat wave. That’s not great for folks who want to spend their summer soaking up the sun, but black metal fans will be pleased to know that the Lone Star State is about to get even hotter.
Necrofier are playing four special shows across their home state this October. They’ll be playing songs off their new album ‘Burning Shadows in the Southern Night’. Joining them are demonic, majestic, Northwest torchbearers Hulder.

“Where you live helps shape someone”. That’s Christian “Bakka” Larson, who sings and plays guitar in Necrofier. He’s right; the band’s new album burns with a thick, sweltering melodicism that you don’t often get from black metal. “Total Southern Darkness” opens with ominous piano and mournful, operatic vocals, while “Whispers That Burn in the Dark” is whipped along by blast beats that pound the air like a horde of bats.
“It’s hot most of the year in Houston,” says Larson, “which gives us warmer tones and more of a heavy metal influence compared to our brothers from the North.”
People have been feeling the heat, too. “It’s a great-sounding black metal that almost feels more like a live record than a studio album,” says A&P Reacts about Burning Shadows in the Southern Night.

Watch the video for “Destroying Angels” Below!
t’s tough to pick just one, but “Destroying Angels” might be the most satantic track on Burning Shadows in the Southern Night. Dobber Beverly is so cold and merciless behind the drum kit that his fills could flay flesh. “Sacrifice my life in blood”, Larson screams. His bloodlust sounds so murderous, it’s like he’s being burned at the stake by those searing guitar riffs.
The video for “Destroying Angels” is just as sinister. Watch what happens when a harem of witches catch an innocent princess wandering through their enchanted forest.
“‘Destroying Angels is about transforming yourself into something new after learning things you believed to be true were not. The song was also written while on mushrooms and lyrically is inspired by Selim from The Devil’s Blood. RIP’
