The Secret

The Secret‘s return to the US this past summer was more than just a few dates with Black Breath and co, it was a chance for the band to hit the studio with Kurt Ballou to record the follow-up to 2010’s Solve Et Coagula. Enter Agnus Dei, the new LP from the Italian band due via Southern Lord on October 23.

Agnus Dei is the band’s newest batch of vitriol, encompassing 45 minutes over 13 songs. Stream the first song to emerge from that record, the hateful title track, below alongside the tracklisting and the art.

So far no other North American dates have been scheduled for the Italian crew, but those in the EU can look forward to catching The Secret with Touche Amore and A Storm of Light in late November/December. All tour dates are listed below.
