Ruim have released the track The Triumph (Of Night & Fire), taken from their upcoming album Black Royal Spiritism – I – O Sino da Igreja, due out on May 26.
Sonically the track features an atmospheric introduction, after the smoke clears and a ritualistic melody is revealed, we lean into a rousing verse before plummeting into the depths of Black Metal. As the song continues we’re flanked by a maelstrom of drums and icy tremolo guitars greet us from the abyss. The Triumph (Of Night & Fire) showcases the multitude of genres that swirl beneath the surface pushing the album out of the darkness and into the band’s own illuminating light.
The song serves as the perfect introduction into crux of what RUÏM represents and acts as a spring board into the unknown. Mastermind Rune Eriksen elaborates on The Triumph (Of Night & Fire) below:
“The song represents some sorts of a nexus, a binding energy or a red line that runs through the album thematically. Not only from a lyrical point of view with its spiritual “battle cry” of sorts, but also from a musical standpoint. The cleaner, eerie passages mixed with the chaos-like elements, vivid time changes and brute power all serve as junctions to the dedication and passion that sums up this album as a whole.”
