Russian black/death metal band MITTAGS-ABGRUND, formed by Sch. in St. Petersburg in 2022, have unveiled the third track from their self-titled debut album, due out September 15 via Darkness Shall Rise Productions, alongside a music video. Titled 'Пой со мной (Грусть в глазах бога)', the track follows the previously released 'Aurora Consurgens' and 'Портреты моих предков' as the third song to be made available from the album.

Running for 48 minutes across nine tracks, including an intro and outro, "Mittags-Abgrund" may be the band's first official release, but it is far from sounding like the work of a fledgling act. Sch.'s compositions blur the line between black metal and death metal by organically merging elements of both genres, while the album's drumming by guest musician F. also stands out as a key part of this approach.

Another notable aspect of the album is that all of its lyrics were written in Russian. Sch. delivers a versatile vocal performance ranging from sinister howls and grim croaks to clean vocals. The compositions combine the triumphant grandeur of black metal in the vein of AETERNUS, IMMORTAL, and BÖLZER with riffs reminiscent of MORBID ANGEL.

The newly released 'Пой со мной (Грусть в глазах бога)' is the third track to emerge from the album, offering another glimpse into its atmosphere, while the band's previously unveiled 'Aurora Consurgens' and 'Портреты моих предков' are also available to hear. "Mittags-Abgrund" will receive its international release through Darkness Shall Rise Productions on September 15.
