What's New: Primordial Black

Remember that Monas Hieroglyphica EP I raved about back in 2024? Well, hold onto your skulls: Primordial Black is back, and this time, they’ve cranked the cosmic dread to eleven. Their new album, Dark Matter Manifesto, dropped May 2nd, 2025, and let me tell you, it’s a hellfire recipe of blackened death metal that’ll leave Rotting Christ and Mgła fans howling for more.
Hailing from Tunisia’s shadowy creative trenches, the band, spearheaded by guitarist/composer Yasser Mahammedi Bouzina and ice-pick-sharp axeman Walid Chaaben, has evolved into a sonic earthquake. Add Selim Bouladi’s punishing drums, and you’ve got a trio that doesn’t just play music; they summon storms.
Their debut EP, Monas Hieroglyphica (January 2024, M&O Music), was a raw, uncompromising plunge into the abyss: 20 reviews, 14 interviews, and a global cult following later, they’re swinging for the stars. Or maybe the black holes.
Dark Matter Manifesto isn’t just an album. It’s a war cry. A “what if?” screamed into the void. What happens when unspeakable horrors bleed into our reality? Isolation, invasion, cosmic madness: Primordial Black doesn’t just ask these questions; they soundtrack them. Collaborations with Rotting Christ’s Sakis Tolis and Osculum Serpentis’ Maxime Taccardi (via Darkside Records) inject even more venom into this 8-track beast.
Dark, melodic, and unflinchingly bold, it’s a manifesto for those who dare stare into the unknown. And guess what? The abyss stares back, with blast beats.
Let me tell you: this isn’t just an album; it’s a declaration for the damned. Tunisia’s metal scene is exploding, and Primordial Black’s leading the charge. Miss this, and you’re snoozing on 2025’s most thrilling descent into darkness.
