Black metal outfit Ováte release second track “Slangen” from new album

After years of silence and dedication, Ováte return from the abyss with their new offering “Rúin”, forged by Aindiachaí (Gorgoroth) on guitars/bass and Brodd (ex-Taake) on drums. Eight years have passed since the band’s self-titled debut, and Rúin now reopen the wound; deeper, colder, and more deliberate. The new album will be out on 6th November via Soulseller Records.

In celebration, Ováte have released the second track, “Slangen”.

“Rúin” is here. Not to be understood, but to be endured, an arcane, insidiously pernicious incursion beyond the veil.

A defining hallmark of Ováte’s sound remains intact: once again, every track is a collaboration with a different guest vocalist, turning the album into a shifting procession of voices and maledictions. Each performance adds a new layer to the record’s blackened craft, while the core duo keeps the blade steady. Sharp riffs, ritualistic momentum, and a trance-like pull that feels both predatory and strangely ceremonial.

On “Rúin”, Ováte list an exceptional cast from the Norwegian and wider extreme metal underground: Spellgoth (Horna), H’grimmr (Helheim), Thomas S. Øvstedal (Cor Scorpii), Sanrabb (Gehenna), Ødemark (The Last Eon / The Third Attempt) and Hoest (Taake). The result is a record that moves with relentless intent, yet rich in atmosphere, with each track carrying its own curse.
