Perhaps in order to better illustrate these themes they’ve streamlined and honed their attack in comparison to their previous works, and nowhere is it more evident than here on the fantastic Crystal Ice. The journey is an ill-fated one as he ends up run aground by the tempest, leading the trio to explore themes of mankind surviving against the elements. Formed back in the heady days of 2008, they’ve returned after a brief hiatus with a storm at their backs – a concept EP about their oft-written protagonist The Wanderer battling the elements on an ocean journey. Under her, we can thrive – or be annihilated.Īnd it’s this that concerns Secretpath on Dominatio Tempestatis (Latin for “Storm’s Domain”). We are at her whim and she can be our worst enemy and greatest ally, switching between both at the drop of a hat. The weather is a fickle mistress and has always had a profound effect on human health and wellbeing, with direct and indirect consequences in regards to mortality rates, diseases caused by extreme events, etc.

So, let’s ring in this momentous occasion by talking about one of the most riveting topics of conversation known to mankind: the weather. Well, seeing as it’s 2019 (“new year, new me” and all that jizz) Black Metal Daily is far beyond proud to present the premiere of ‘Crystal Ice’, the intriguing first track from Italian progressive melodic black/death trio Secretpath‘s upcoming latest EP Dominatio Tempestatis.

What’s this? A track premiere? You may be thinking that you’ve not seen a track premiere grace these stained pages yet – and yes, you would be correct.
