Opera Diabolicus share album details, post new song

Swedish horror outfit Opera Diabolicus will be releasing a brand new full-length, ‘Death on a Pale Horse,’ on November 26, 2021 via Season of Mist! The cover art, tracklist, and other details can be found below. The band is now sharing the epic first single, “Darkest Doom on the Brightest of Days,” along with a music video! The song and accompanying clip can be found at THIS LOCATION [embedded below].

Opera Diabolicus comments: “Finally, the cat is out of the bag and we’re ready to unleash the first song of the upcoming album. The song itself, entitled ´Darkest Doom on the Brightest of Days,’ gives a good hint of things to come and displays excellent performances from both Mats Levén (Skyblood, Krux, Ex-Candlemass, Ex-Therion etc.) and Snowy Shaw (Notre Dame, Ex-King Diamond, Ex-Mercyful Fate etc) as well as the outstanding job by Mixmaster Jens Bogren (Fascination Street Studios). Accompanied with a fantastic lyric video that really catches the mystique of the song we believe this will entice disciples of epic horror metal in the vein of King Diamond, Mercyful Fate and Candlemass. So, if you’re one of those disciples, please enjoy and mark the date of the forthcoming release in your calendar.”
