VON: Dark Gods Rise! Seven Billion Slaves Out NOW!
To commemorate today’s official release of Seven Billion Slaves, the first of three volumes to begin VON’s long-anticipated Dark Gods trilogy, the band is currently streaming the offering in its apocalyptic, malformed entirety. Unleashed via Von Records, Dark Gods: Seven Billion Slaves was mixed by Andrew Ragin of The Atlas Moth and features nine new blackened movements by the legendary purveyors of audio contamination.

 “VON have been myopic for a very long time, forced by either their own obsessions or the pressures of their cult status to revisit their earlier material until they were finally content with the state that it was in. Now that they have the freedom to look beyond it, they have cast their net wide, beginning a immense narrative about the rise of a new dark power and the dark fate of humanity in its wake. Sonically varied and conceptually vast, VON seem to have finally taken up the mantle of black metal royalty in a way they have always deserved. What the Dark Gods trilogy will ultimately become is yet to be seen, but the beginning is a promising one.†— Angry Metal Guy
