Argonauta Records is proud to announce that the ritualistic black voyagers Nibiru have completed their new and long awaited album titled »H Y P Ó S T A S I S«. This release marks a decade of unwavering alliance between the band and the label, a journey that continues to evolve through sound, vision and spiritual exploration. »H Y P Ó S T A S I S« will be available in CD and digital formats on February 27th, 2026.
Born in 2012, Nibiru emerged as the manifestation of a relentless process of spiritual and emotional knowledge. This journey involves every member of the band and shapes a creative approach that is both impetuous and deeply ritualistic. Their lyrical form blends enochian elements with Italian language. Their sound draws from post-punk, darkwave, ambient, black metal and occult doom. The definition that best captures their essence is Ritualistic Occult Black Doom.
Across seven full-length albums and one EP, Nibiru have forged a distinctive and influential presence. Their acclaimed discography includes »Caosgon« and »Netrayoni«, originally self-released and later reissued by Argonauta Records, followed by »Padmalotus«, »Qaal Babalon« with Argonauta Records, »Salbrox« with Ritual Production, and the more recent works »Panspermia«, »Anamorphosis« and the »Teloch« EP with Argonauta Records.
Nibiru’s milestones include sharing the stage with Oranssi Pazuzu, Uada, Nightstalker, Mortuary Drape and Mortiis. The band performed an extended eighty minute ritual at Roadburn Festival 2016, toured Europe with Enisum, appeared at Metalitalia Festival 2018, toured the UK including a noted performance at The Black Heart in London reviewed by Metal Hammer UK, and played at Church Of Crow Doom Festival with Ahab in 2023 as well as headlining From Dust Till Doom Festival in Zurich the same year.
Their presence extends beyond the stage. Nibiru took part in »Terror Tales: A Tribute To Death SS« released by Black Widow Records and in »Fiabe Bandite Vol.1«. They appear in Stefano Cerati’s book »I cento migliori dischi Stoner Heavy Psych«, Eduardo Vitolo’s »Children Of Doom« and in Corrado De Sio’s documentary »Road To Roadburn«.
Their audiovisual impact is equally significant. Videos for the »Salbrox« tracks »Nanta«, »Efflatus« and »Exarp« have collected strong attention online and continue to represent the visual essence of the band.
»H Y P Ó S T A S I S« represents a new chapter, a deep and visceral embodiment of the band’s ongoing exploration of inner awareness, corruptible and malignant. An album that expands their ritualistic vision and reinforces their unmistakable artistic identity.
Nibiru is currently Ardat after the departure of L C Chertan in 2024 and Ri in April 2025. Both positions have been replaced, with official announcements to follow.
“Of the process of inner awareness of corruptible and malignant.”
