Hear Watain's Furious New Song "Nuclear Alchemy"

Swedes premiere pyro-heavy video for opening track from upcoming 'Trident Wolf Eclipse'

It's been nearly five years since we heard last from Swedish black-metal legion Watain. It appears the drought's finally over: Today, the Scandinavian noisemakers announced their sixth full-length,Trident Wolf Eclipse. The follow-up to 2013's Wild Hunt arrives January 5th, 2018 via the band's own His Master's Noise label and Century Media — just in time for the band's 20th anniversary In anticipation of the upcoming LP, Watain have unveiled a pyro-friendly visual for its opening track, "Nuclear Alchemy," which finds the band tearing through the ripper with amps ablaze, and later, burning effigies of its distinctive trident logo. Don't try this at home, kids. Watch above, and read on for the album artwork and track listing.

"After 20 years of carving our own path through and out of the world, Trident Wolf Eclipse feels like a worthy point of arrival indeed," Watain say of the new LP. "One of power and force, shining a new harsh light upon all that has been, those that perished along the way, the life altering struggle and triumphant ecstasy of Watain. Trident Wolf Eclipse is, however, not about the past, nor the future; it is about here and now, and we sincerely look forward to show you all what that implies."

Collectors, take note: In addition to the expected formats (LP/CD/digital), Trident Wolf Eclipse will be released as a special-edition box set, limited to 3,000 copies. Speaking of rarities, Watain have put a limited quantity of "Nuclear Alchemy" 7-inches up for sale on CM Distro, as well as their merch website. Only 2,000 copies exist, so act fast.
