Norwegian black metal band NEKYIAN, hailing from Trondheim, have announced the release date of their debut full-length album, "Impure Stargazing". Set for release on December 9, 2026, the album will be issued on CD and vinyl through Terratur Possessions, with worldwide distribution handled by Amor Fati Productions.

Connected to the Terratur Possessions roster, NEKYIAN embrace a direct, uncompromising and dark approach to black metal on their debut. According to the label, the album turns towards the genre's harsher, more straightforward side at a time when the scene is losing its musical focus to outside influences.
