Following their debut EP in early 2025, Incandescent Trance Ritual return on Dark Noiz with their new
EP „Opening the Second Seal“ - a title both reffering to their second release and the book of
revelations. A conscious statement of reawakening, bridging the mysticism, ritual and intensity found in
both rave culture and black metal.
The record was crafted through a process that mirrors its hybrid identity: The duo began by
composing soundscapes rather than songs, weaving black-metal guitar textures into electronic beats,
sampled metal drums and heavy synth pressure to create rough, tactile sonics that can be felt as much
as heard. Once the strongest soundscapes were shaped into arrangements, Luca‘s vocals were
recorded - not in a studio, but inside Cologne‘s 674FM club, capturing movement, space and the aura
of a live environment.
