Media type: LP

Relentless mid-tempo Death/Doom Metal! A Crushing descent into dust, ruin and the old ways!

“Cycle of the Dying Sun (Dawn of Ashen Realms)” marks a new era for the Runemagick entity. Entirely composed and performed by Nicklas Rudolfsson, vocals, guitars, bass, synthesizers, and drums, the album channels the stripped down, immersive, and slow-burning spirit of early Runemagick while also introducing new sonic shades and meditative depth. A few carefully chosen guests were invited to contribute additional dimensions, further expanding the album’s ceremonial atmosphere.

Six core compositions form the foundation across all formats. The CD and digital editions go even deeper, offering four extended tracks that enrich the journey with further layers of decay, resonance, and otherworldly drift. This album represents both a new era and a new chapter, while also serving as a natural continuation of the path carved on “Beyond the Cenotaph of Mankind”, a descent beyond that threshold, into deeper domains of life, death, and the unknown beyond.
