Runemagick unveil the artwork, concept and tracklist for their new double album After Chaos: Nocturnal Vigil, edited by Hammerheart Records, and set for release on September 18 in 2‑CD and 2‑LP formats.

The first single and pre‑orders will arrive in early July. The work is structured as a two‑part journey divided into four movements, each containing two compositions.

Continuing the path initiated on Cycle of the Dying Sun (Dawn of Ashen Realms), this album shifts from collapse to observation, from endings to presence. Each movement is linked to a symbolic rune, guiding themes of stillness, continuity, animistic perception and the hidden currents beneath reality. Musically, it remains rooted in Runemagick’s heavy, atmospheric foundation while expanding into more spacious and meditative territories, especially throughout Movement D – Dissolution into the Unbounded.

Featuring guest vocals and illustrations by Dísa Draugurinn, the album combines a background oil painting by Danny Pham with a central illustration by Pablo Robbio. A work of aftermath, vigilance and revelation through stillness.

Runemagick revelan portada, concepto y lista de temas de su nuevo doble álbum After Chaos: Nocturnal Vigil, editado por Hammerheart Records, con lanzamiento previsto para el 18 de septiembre en 2‑CD y 2‑LP. El primer single y las pre‑ventas llegarán a inicios de julio. El disco se presenta como un viaje dividido en dos partes y cuatro movimientos, cada uno con dos composiciones.

Continuando el sendero iniciado en Cycle of the Dying Sun (Dawn of Ashen Realms), este trabajo se desplaza del colapso hacia la observación: menos destrucción, más presencia. Cada movimiento se vincula simbólicamente a una runa, guiando temas de quietud, continuidad, percepción animista y corrientes ocultas bajo la realidad.

Con la participación vocal y visual de Dísa Draugurinn, el álbum combina una pintura al óleo de Danny Pham con una ilustración central de Pablo Robbio.
