Ekpyrosis marks the sixth studio album from Swedish black metallers SETHERIAL. Featuring past and former members of Blackwinds and In Battle (among others), Ekpyrosis was recorded at the band's own Sundsvall studio in Sweden during the autumn and winter of 2009 and engineered and mixed by drummer/keyboardist/vocalist Mysteriis. Brutal, melodic, pitch-black and atmospheric, the perfect formula for a perfect black metal album from the northern shores of Sweden!
