Blackened/death quartet Cormorant have unleashed an audio stream of a new song titled “The Devourer”. Issued the band of the new track:
“‘The Devourer’ is the shortest song on the record, but it probably has the highest concentration of riffs and musical expressions, with lots of twists and turns that are reflected in the narrative. Tying into the overarching themes of migration and human arrogance, this song tells a story about defying the passage of the soul. [Bassist/vocalist] Marcus [Luscombe] wrote the lyrics based on the Egyptian mythology of Ammit, a funerary deity who consumes the impure in the afterlife. In an attempt to outsmart his doomed fate, the protagonist endeavors to flee Ammit in the underworld in an act of defiance.”
The single is the latest from the Bay Area outfit’s upcoming full-length Diaspora. The effort hits stores on August 11th through War Crime Recordings. Pre-orders can be picked up using the Bandcamp player below.
