Incendiary Sanctum, the outstanding new full-length from Toronto-based atmospheric post-black trio A FLOCK NAMED MURDER, is out today on Hypaethral Records!

Never confined by genre, A FLOCK NAMED MURDER crafts an expansive and immersive sound merging elements of black metal, post-metal, doom, and death metal into a seamless whole. Their music resonates with fans of boundary-pushing acts like Agalloch, Neurosis, Inter Arma, Ulver, Fen, The Ruins Of Beverast, Ulcerate, and Cult Of Luna. Whether leaning into crushing intensity or weaving hypnotic atmospheres, each song is a journey – meticulously crafted yet organic in flow, sprawling yet cohesive, drawing listeners into deep, evocative soundscapes.



Amped Magazine UK boasts of the release, “A FLOCK NAMED MURDER could have rested on the promise of their debut. Instead, they’ve crafted something far greater: a work of staggering ambition and execution. I urge you, don’t sleep on Incendiary Sanctum. This album is not one to be trifled with and is shaping up to be one of 2025’s best metal albums." Wonderbox Metal champions, "a rewarding, absorbing, and enjoyable album. It’s vast and adventurous, with a substantive depth that demands repeat visits to its intriguing shores. However, it’s also dripping in the instant appeal that comes with powerful presence and intense emotion," while Outlaws Of The Sun lauds, "one of the most innovative, most important and landmark albums from the extreme metal scene in the years to come."
