Speaking about the thematic depth of the new track, The Magus offered the following insight:

"The song is about false prophets, false messiahs, fake sorcerers and liars. For those who lie on purpose to serve their pathetic needs and for those who are so entangled in their lies that they perceive them as truth. In all levels..."

“Daemonosophia”, the follow-up to “ΒΥΣΣΟΔΟΜΩΝΤΑΣ” is set to be released on 20 February 2026 via The Circle Music and is available to pre-order in CD and vinyl formats, along with a limited luxurious box set and merch bundles: https://thecirclemusic.gr/product-category/the-circle-releases/?filter_artist-name=the-magus

The Magus previously revealed that the new album promises a more aggressive and dynamic sound than the previous album, “ΒΥΣΣΟΔΟΜΩΝΤΑΣ”, while keeping the devouring dark atmosphere the project’s music is known for. The album's sound has some unexpected and diabolically diverse moments that will make listeners feel uneasy.

For the album cover art, The Magus collaborated with Mexican artist Nestor Avalos, known for his work with numerous bands, including Exodus, Deicide and Rotting Christ. The artwork is an Infernal Triptych that portrays six infernal entities: Lucifer/Samael, Leviathan/Tiamat, and Belial/Satan. Nestor created a majestic painting of infernal wisdom and occult meanings, giving prominence to the Luciferian tradition and the music of the album.

The Magus was formed in 2022, following the dissolution of the legendary Greek black metal band Necromantia, which The Magus co-founded. He decided to end Necromantia after the death of his bandmate Baron Blood in 2019, releasing a final album, “To the Depths We Descend”, in 2021 as a tribute. For this new project, The Magus brought in long-time collaborators El on guitars and Maelstrom on drums.
