Edged Circle Productions is proud to announce the highly anticipated new album from Portugal’s ANZV, simply entitled KUR, which will be unleashed upon the world on the 30th of May 2025.

 

The band is not newcomers, but they are bringer of new impulses. Challenging the spiritual possibilities of seeing beyond the void and into the nothingness of nothing. Opening your ears and hearts to the underworld of nihilism and despair. Taking their name from the Mesopotamian monster figure Anzû. Described as a divine storm bird who could breathe fire and water or in some descriptions as a lion-headed eagle. Either also as the personification of the southern wind and the thunder clouds.

 

Their music speaks for itself, however. Fabolous musicianship on every instrument and a great live band, they have managed to create their own sound and image of another world in their own special way.

 

This new opus plunges into the abyss, where ancient rites and mythic forces collide. From the crumbling remains of mortality to the furious storm of Sumerian fiends, KUR pulses with raw emotion, evoking despair, awe, and a confrontation with the unknown. Amidst these powerful themes, the eternal dance between life and death, pride and submission, unfolds.

 

Prepare to be cast into the depths of KUR, where you’ll be beckoned to confront the void—and in doing so, transcend it.
