Italian blackened deathcore heavyweights Drown in Sulphur have signed with Noble Demon and unveiled their brand-new single and music video, “New Moon Rising on Florence”! The track is taken from their upcoming EP, "Strix", out on September 11 and available to pre-save now here: https://music.nobledemon.com/strix
As the latest addition to German metal specialist label Noble Demon, DROWN IN SULPHUR proudly present new music with a fresh line-up.
Offering a definitive glimpse into the band’s revamped sonic direction, “New Moon Rising on Florence” is raw, visceral, and uncompromisingly heavy. The single stands at the heart of the broader narrative behind "Strix", blending the nostalgic fury of MySpace-era deathcore with grim black metal influences. It marks a deliberate shift towards a less symphonic, more hardcore-driven sound.
"With 'New Moon Rising On Florence', we wanted to capture a sound that is entirely authentic and recognizable to the Drown In Sulphur name," the band shares. "Following our recent lineup changes, we entered a period of deep reflection. We knew we needed a change, a return to something rawer and more grounded in our origins, yet adapted for the modern era. We stripped back the symphonic layers to let the pure, unfiltered aggression take over. The result is a track that feels incredibly organic and devastating."
They continue: "Thematically, this song and the wider EP dive deep into esoteric, biblical, and dystopian contexts, heavily intertwining Masonic references. It all revolves around the mythological figure of the 'Strix', the ancient nocturnal bird of ill omen. Florence becomes the backdrop for this dark ritual, signaling a new, rebellious vision of the world where ancient horrors resurface in modern times."
