PRESS RELEASE:
Black metal gods Nazghor from Sweden are releasing the first single from their upcoming full-length A World Ablaze out February 20, 2026 via Solistitium Records.
The first track, “Cursed and Unblessed”, will be released on December 19.
About the single:
“Cursed and Unblessed is the opening strike of A World Ablaze — fast, relentless, and built around themes of corruption, fanaticism, and divine decay. It sets the tone for the entire album.”
Hailing from the unholy city of Uppsala, Sweden, Nazghor has been crafting their signature black metal of death since 2012. A cavalcade of blood, sweat, and melodic yet unforgiving darkness has defined the band for more than a decade.
On February 20, 2026, Nazghor will unleash their eighth full-length album, A World Ablaze. In 1702, a relentless fire tore through Uppsala and left the city in ruins. Three centuries later, that night still haunts Nazghor´s hometown.
A World Ablaze is the band´s tribute to Uppsala’s fallen heritage and their own history. Old songs rise again, reforged in fire and darkness. This album is an offering to a city that rose from the ashes, and to a band that still burns. Mazghor will mark the release with an intimate, fierce release show.
A World Ablaze will be released through Solitistitium Records and available on all major platforms, CD and vinyl.
Mixed and mastered by Pentagram Studio.
