watain - lawless darkness

It’s been more than three years since Watain‘s last album, Sworn to the Dark, was released, but the time is finally upon us for another offering from one of the most exciting black metal bands on the scene today. Lawless Darkness comes out June 8 on Season of Mist, but you can stream it right now on the player below. It’s raw, it’s epic, and it’s sure to be one of the summer’s strongest releases.

Once you’ve given it a listen and heard how awesome it is for yourself, you can pre-order Lawless Darkness in a variety of cool packages right here. And now, without further adieu…

    Everyone should listen to this, it is basically the Best Thing

  • Spanky

    Black metal! The blackest of the darkest shade of black with some more black mixed it! Black metal!

    fucking awesome

    un-fucking-believable. i’m picking this shit up!

  • Ian

    Sure sounds like Watain! Didn’t venture much out of their comfort zone, but excellent.

  • Dysenteric

    Good stuff! I’ll be getting the LP version.

    And by the way, those all-over print shirts look stupid, not to mention very un-black metal. I don’t care if the artwork it’s based on is pretty cool. You might as well be wearing Ed Hardy and/or Shiroi Neko. Not to mention they’re bloody expensive.

    • Doug

      You hit the nail on the head. I said the same thing to myself when I looked at the pre-order options on Season of Mist.

    I see an “Unintentional Goatse”.

    • Alex_P

      Lawless Goatse.
      Goatse Darkness.

    • Alex_P

      Also: how do you know it’s unintentional?

      • Sophus

        It is a gaping asshole that will devour the world

        “Unintentional Goatse” is a website dedicated to spotting, supposedly, unintentional depictions of the notorious, and feared, internet meme known as Goatse.

        • Alex_P

          Yeah, that site’s great. They covered “We are the Goatse” a few months ago thanks to Grover.

  • JB

    Top fucking notch! Wow….2nd best album of the year after Triptykon

  • Ian

    How awesome is it that ‘Waters of Aln’ goes all Leonard Skinnard at the end!

  • bucketochicken

    Bah. Only 36% of the album’s song titles have the word “death” in them. Fuckin posers.

    This album leaked a little while ago, and I have to say it was really disappointing after their last album, Sworn to the Dark.

  • SolaceInNothing

    Wow fuck yeah man Watain rules!

  • Matthijs Ouderland

    If you think this albums sucks you really should commit suicide.
    Perfect Black Metal.

  • Tom Pryce

    I am considering buying this, but some people reckon they’re NSBM? Is there any truth in this do or are people being stupid?

    • Genial Gentile

      I haven’t seen anything in their lyrics/imagery that would indicate that they are a NSBM band. I wouldn’t care if they were, they’re that good.

    • devoured by vegans

      Definately not NSBM read some interviews, they are a nasty bunch but not idiots.
      Cant wait for this album loved sworn to the dark but was a let down compared to casus luciferi here’s hoping they managed it.

    • FUCK YOU

      Why would you care if they were NSBM? Fucking coward.

    • some guy

      Hmmm not sure but they have a demo titled “Fuck Your Jewish God”.

      Check it out and let me know what you think

    this is so sick

  • Dv

    album cover looks like an asshole

    • Alex_P

      Duly noted by others.

  • Gytrash

    Damn fine on first playthrough,,, Waters of Ain has the makings of a masterpiece. Should be a good show in London on Saturday, hehe!

  • http://morthron martin naglič

    It seemed imposible to make a better album than Sworn To The Dark… Well, these maniacs did it! AWESOME!

  • shortlived

    Boring to say the least if you ask me. This band is so overrated. Dissection wannabies is what they are.

  • http://stuffyouwillhate.com shawnyouwillhate

    not bad….but I thought waters of ain was a celtic frost cover when I wasn’t paying attention.

  • jonesy

    I thought it was my copy of the album, but no, it’s in this stream too. There are audible, out-of-place clicks all over this recording. Like a drum mic bumping into the drum head or a hand tapping on a mic. It’s super annoying because the album is fantastic otherwise. Are you kids that busy with Facebook, you don’t even hear this shit?

  • j_strawn

    glad someone brought up those odd sounds in the recording. it definitely sounds like a mic bumping or like pickups getting smacked. i chalked it up to some glitches in the stream on here because i’ve only listened to the record here, but to hear its also in other peoples’ proper versions of the record? very strange. maybe they’ll come up with some nerdy satanboy excuse, like they’re using a goat carcass as a pick. killer record, though.

  • Wildman

    Album art is taken from the Dino Cazares Toilet Cam after Burrito Night, clearly.

  • http://crescentshield.com Crescent Shield

    I like this lyric…

    Hail! Hail! Thou who makes the cosmos wail!
    In anguish as we fuck the world,
    And sodomize the god that failed

    Drums are fucked up as many have said….ooops

  • matty2fatty

    sounds like every other european black metal band I’ve listened to in the last 2 years. This genre is starting to remind me of deathcore…..every band has killer chops but they all sound the same, just aping Dimmu without the keys
