Hot off the road supporting countrymen Hate on 8 dates across Poland, VARMIA release a second sampling from their new album in the digital single/visualizer for “agre.”

“agre” comes from the anticipated new album, nie nas widzę, the fourth release from black metal pagans, VARMIA, which will be in stores and online June 16th.

"The track ‘agre’ belongs to the Fire Cult part of the record. It's not an anthemic song like [first single] ‘DAINA 4.’ It's not an invocation, but rather a description of how the Fire manifests in our lives. How the safe warmth can turn into a scorching flame. Hopefully this also unveils more about the structure of the whole album,” describes vocalist/guitarist Lasota.

Originally formed in Olsztyn by composer Lasota, VARMIA has carried the torch for instrumental alchemy in their native Poland since 2016. Fusing together black metal with archaic influences ranging from Baltic folk to music from the historical region of Warmia, the resultant sound is as compelling as it is progressive.

Employing traditional ethnic instrumentation such as the tagelharpa, goat horn, wood tuba and krivula, the quartet create visceral and dark metal landscapes that are both sonically and technically enthralling. Channeling the powerful spirit of early-Enslaved and Satyricon with the ethnic elements that has come to shape acts such as Wardruna and Heilung, nie nas widzę is the sound of a band at the height of their musical powers.

Having spent nearly a year-and-a-half producing the music for nie nas widzę, this massive undertaking once again found the band dividing their time and effort across several remote, culturally significant locations in Poland. From dungeon-cellars and barns to medieval castles and field recordings, traversing all four seasons, the album’s natural evolution is reflected in both concept and construction and is perhaps best showcased on first album single, ‘DAINA 4’, watch the video now HERE https://youtu.be/AKHN7M-56qM
