The flames rise again.
With »Altar In Black«, The Ossuary summon a ritual drenched in doom – slow-burning riffs, haunting vocals, and the lingering smoke of good old heavy metal.
This is not just a song. It’s an oath carved in stone and sealed in blood.
Taken from their monolithic new record, Requiem for the Sun, this track channels the spirit of ‘70s occult rock and doom metal in its purest form – raw, heavy, and hypnotic.
Deep from the vaults of doom, The Ossuary unveil »Altar In Black« – a solemn procession of heavy riffs, vintage visual sorcery and voices echoing like lost prayers in ancient halls.
For fans of Black Sabbath, Pentagram, Mercyful Fate, Witchfinder General, and the black-and-white ghosts of heavy music past.

Italian occult heavy rockers The Ossuary are finally back with their long awaited fourth album »Requiem For The Sun«, delivering eight new songs of doomy and psychedelic heavy metal. Deeply rooted in 70’s rock and the darker side of NWOBHM, this record sees the band indulging in more introspective occult themes and expanding their downer rock towards further sonic territories with a more spectral and oneiric approach. Yet, The Ossuary remains relentlessly authentic – keeping the raw, unfiltered spirit, carving its own path beyond trends and conventions.
The Ossuary draw inspiration from the dark depths of human existence to create a sonic experience that is both grounded and otherworldly.
From the ominous opening of »Sacrifice« to the final sonic explosion of »Eloise«, »Requiem For The Sun« unfolds like a cinematic soundscape – drenched in thunderous riffs, haunting melodies and vocals from beyond.
Turn the volume up to 11 and immerse yourself in the ritualistic finale that »Requiem For The Sun« has to offer.
»Requiem For The Sun« will be released on May 23rd, 2025 via Supreme Chaos Records.
