The usually secretive and reclusive members of legendary haunting Black Metallers SpectralMists have finally given permission for their music to be posted on MySpace!

A previously unreleased demo version of Spell Of The Nightwizard from 1993 is now online and, in an unprecedented move, the band have also unveiled a brand new track - the intro from their forthcoming new full length, to be released through union black Records.



The band's MySpace profile, run by a fan in Sweden, can be found at www.myspace.com/spectralmists

UK-based Onsetcold (recently signed to union black Artist Management) are a 5 piece extreme metal band from the UK who push the musical boundaries beyond that of the more regimented forms of metal.

They've performed in a number of cities around the UK including Glasgow, Nottingham, Manchester & London and are renowned for their aggressive and brutal stage assault. Having been involved with Terrorizer and Zero Tolerance magazines as well as promoters, venues and booking agents from the early stages, Onsetcold were able to make progress on the metal circuit and in doing so spread the name and concept to as many people as possible, predominantly in the UK.

In their 3rd year as a band, Onsetcold signed with WormHoleDeath (a sub-label of Aural Music) and successfully recorded their self-titled debut album in Bologna, Italy. With stunning cover artwork from Darkwave Art (The Breathing Process, My Dying Bride, Carcass, Deicide) and mastered by Riccardo Pasini (Ephel Duath) the album takes their uniquely brutal brand of Metal to a new level of intensity.

Following rumours amongst some circles, we can confirm that secretive Black Metal connoisseurs SpectralMists are currently active and working on a new album!

Details of the new album, their fourth full length, are not yet known, except that it will contain material that has been written and recorded on and off during the now nearly eight year period since their last release, 'Distant Heavens Aflame.'

The enigmatic purveyors of dark atmospheres, whose 2003 apparent concept album 'Marshland Mysteries' remains unreleased, say that the new record will be released through ubR and will not contain material written for 'Marshland Mysteries.'

There are no plans for live shows.

The band's official website www.SpectralMists.net has been empty for several years and as yet contains no further information.

INSIDIOUS today attended a photo shoot with Julie Kiss whose images of the band will be used in the inlay of their forthcoming album, 'Digital Disdain.'

Julie has previously photographed such acts as Amon Amarth, Dream Theater, Pain Of Salvation, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Within Temptation and Obituary.

Here's an exclusive sneak preview from the photo session!
