Brussels, Belgium based Occult Doom Rock band Wolvennest have unveiled the official visualizer for the first single “Décharné” taken from their new double album, “Procession,” scheduled for release on October 17, 2025 via Consouling Sounds.

After a decade, four full-length offerings, and a string of other releases (EPs, a live ritual, and a collaborative album under The Nest banner alongside members of Ruins Of Beverast, Primordial, Dool, and Saturnalia Temple), the Occult Doom-Rock sextet Wolvennest return with their most ambitious work yet: the double album “Procession,” out October 17th via Consouling Sounds on CD digipack, LP (including a limited edition), and digital formats. The release will be followed by a European tour alongside Dolch and Double Darkness. Forged from backgrounds in Rock, Occult Doom, Psychedelia, and Black Metal, the Belgian coven has earned a formidable reputation across Europe through transcendent performances at Hellfest, Roadburn, relentless tours, and fevered club rituals. With three guitars forming a wall of sound, the spectral wail of a theremin, sacred projections, and altar-like stage presences, every Wolvennest appearance becomes less a concert than a ceremony — an offering to Death itself.
“We record when we want, with no pressure and no interference from outside forces. We cultivate our own domain, a sanctum where outcasts and zealots still take the time to listen deeply, to feel the music like a bad trip unraveling,” declares guitarist and synth-conjuror Corvus.
Once more mixed and mastered by Déhà at Blackout Studio in Brussels, “Procession” approaches eighty minutes of unrelenting atmosphere. “Our previous work was a side A/side B journey, but we all felt that returning to a longer format meant erasing boundaries altogether. ‘Procession’ is an all-or-nothing offering – it begins with warmth and ascends into death and despair,” continues Corvus.
True to tradition, Wolvennest once again summon a guest voice. “In 2019, we witnessed Adaestuo in Brussels – one of the most harrowing black metal rites we have ever seen,” recalls guitarist Michel Kirby. “It became instantly clear that Hekte Zaren was the perfect vessel for the song ‘Tarantism.’ She is a key to the Otherworld, a rarity in these times. We are blessed, or perhaps cursed, to have her presence woven into our music. In the past we’ve had Dagur from Misþyrming, Der Blutharsch, King Dude, and Alex from Ruins Of Beverast – all people who create music for the right reasons. Hekte Zaren is no exception.”
Doom, Black Metal, Rock, Ambient, even Cinematic echoes — all converge in Wolvennest’s sound, defying genre confines. “It has never been an obstacle, but rather a gift,” says singer and theremin-priestess Shazzula. “It allows us to perform at doom/stoner gatherings as well as at black metal ceremonies.”
Lyrically, the album’s message is stark. “Strip the word procession of its religious bindings,” explains lead guitarist Marc De Backer. “This world has had its chance, and our species has failed utterly. This procession is the soundtrack of our extinction, plain and simple.”
“Procession” also marks the first recording with new bassist VaathV. “I’ve known the band from its inception, witnessed its evolution, and was born ready. In the studio, I nearly discovered the songs as I recorded them. A challenge, yes, but that’s Wolvennest. The moment itself carries the magic, both live and behind the veil. We are not a jam band, but the spirit of the 70s, when audacity was exalted, still runs through us.”
As with every release, “Procession” holds its own addictive hymn — this time, “The Shadow Of Your Side.” “The track wasn’t even supposed to make the album,” reveals drummer Bram Moerenhout. “But I finished my parts earlier than expected, so I gave it a chance, without a guide, without tracks to follow. I trusted the demo, and the final incarnation astonished me. It’s one of those songs that lingers after a single listen, yet it still breathes with Wolvennest’s essence – layered guitars, hidden keys, and an aura that won’t let go.”
Wolvennest have never sought universality. With “Procession,” they plunge unflinching into the vortex, heedless of outside judgment. “It has always been our creed: we must revel in the entire process to conjure something true. That’s why we entrusted Arts of Maquenda with the artwork and Void Revelations with our image. These are people who know us not only as musicians, but as human beings. We wanted that intimacy to resonate in every facet.”
For the first time, the album will be unveiled by Belgian label Consouling Sounds, after years of alliance with Van Records. “Our gratitude to Van is endless – their legacy is monumental. Yet it was time for a new chapter. It means something profound to us to be released by a Belgian label, with vinyl pressed on Belgian soil,” concludes Michel Kirby.
