Nefarious Monarchy, draws heavily from PAINFUL's black metal roots, both musically and in terms of its lyrical content. The band resolutely pursues its path, completely dispensing with (anti-)religiosity and fantasies, searching for the horrifying in the history of mankind and dragging it into the light under an incantatory mosh: from the Black Plague (Imagines Pestis) to the decade-long cultural firestorm at the end of the 18th century, to which we owe our liberal democracy. The concept album is dedicated to the dark side of the French Revolution and the human abysses that became evident within it. In the immediate aftermath of the Revolution, France was engaged in armed conflicts with several neighboring states. What went down in the history books as the Coalition Wars caused incredible human suffering between the bloody lines.
PAINFUL's Nefarious Monarchy will be available everywhere from May 25th and is now up for pre-order here: https://linktr.ee/painfulmetalofficial. An official album release party and live show will also take place on that date.
