ANGEST - Perpetual Anguish LP

Angest is a newly formed international black metal band bringing together members from Austria, Belgium, Canada and France. Their debut album, Perpetual Anguish, will be released through Vendetta Records. Built around themes of fear, emotional collapse and psychological paralysis, the album explores different forms of inner deterioration across five extended tracks. Perpetual Anguish leans heavily into atmosphere, tension and suffocating emotional weight, following the slow erosion of identity, certainty and the ability to function within everyday life. Across the album, fear becomes a constant presence, appearing through uncertainty, isolation, numbness and the sensation of gradually disappearing beneath one’s own thoughts. Angest also brings together musicians connected to a wide range of respected underground acts, with three members coming from the remains of the multinational band Lebenssucht. The line-up also carries connections to Cult of Erinyes, Détresse, LVTHN, Humanitas Error Est, Goat Torment, (ex-)Enthroned, Gevurah and Towering..
