After 23 years of silence, Finnish black metallers Darkwoods My Betrothed are making their long-awaited comeback with a new full-length album, Angel Of Carnage Unleashed, to be unleashed on November 12, 2021 via Napalm Records. Check out also the first streaming track, called "In Evil, Sickness And In Grief".

Bassist Teemu Kautonen on the album: "The lyrics are based on the work of the renowned Finnish historian Teemu Keskisarja. His research inspired us both to carefully embed all lyrics in the appropriate historical context and to bring forth the human dimension by focusing on stories of individual people and how they experienced this perhaps darkest period of Finnish history."

Vocalist/guitarist Pasi Kankkunen adds: "It was very important for us to have the original line-up on the comeback album. We also agreed right at the beginning of the process to share the songwriting in equal proportions - just as we did on the 1996 classic album, Autumn Roars Thunder."




Darkwoods My Betrothed on the first single: "In Evil, Sickness And In Grief" is our first new release since 1998. For the comeback after 23 years of silence, we chose a song that showcases everything that the band is about: murderous blastbeats, catchy riffs spiced with haunting melodies, vicious screams contrasted by clean vocals and choirs, majestic keyboards and eerily beautiful female vocals layers. These ingredients provide the musical canvas for a lyric that features a dialogue between a peasant soldier forcibly drafted to the Swedish army and the Slaughter's Holy Angel Of War, who demands such horrific deeds from the soldier that he ends up with a shredded soul."
