Aural Aggravation

Deconstructing Sequence unveils a devastating video for the track ‘The Undying Void’, taken from their latest full-length, Tenebris Cosmicis Tempora, which was released last November via Black Lion Records. The album leans into undiscovered realms of black metal but also pushes even further forward into progressive and avant-garde territories. As an explosive reminder of what the new album encompasses, Deconstructing Sequence deliver a striking video for an unhinged and thoroughly heart-hammering song. The video was recorded at Two Shots Studio and produced by Łukasz Grosik from Remedy Brand.

“Łukasz Grosik perfectly captured the atmosphere behind the song and the band, showing a very dark, destructive vision,” states the band. “A vision that we, as Deconstructing Sequence, will follow.”

Deconstructing Sequence was formed in 2012 in Taunton, Somerset (UK) by Tiberius. Alongside former Northwail bandmate Morph, the duo sought to explore more progressive and avant-garde territories within extreme music. Soon after, J. Nerexo (from Shadows Land) joined on drums, culminating in a more aggressive and twisted edge to the band’s progressive sound. This lineup produced two EPs and one full-length album.

The debut EP Year One (2013), mixed and mastered by Arkadiusz “Aro” Jabłoński at Monroe Sound Studio, laid the foundation for a new era of artistic freedom. The follow-up, Access Code (2014), featured a video created by Costin Chioreanu of Twilight13Media, hinting at an evolving musical vision. In 2017, Deconstructing Sequence’s first full-length album, Cosmic Progression: An Agonizing Journey Through the Oddities of Space, released via Polish label Via Nocturna in 2018, was praised worldwide for its unconventional approach and bold sound.
After relocating to Szczecin, Poland, Tiberius began shaping a new creative direction for what would become the band’s second full-length. With Morph stepping away, drummer Dark Soul joined in 2018, injecting fresh energy into the band. Over the next few years, Deconstructing Sequence meticulously constructed what would become Tenebris Cosmicis Tempora, recorded at Monroe Sound Studio under the supervision of Arkadiusz “Aro” Jabłoński between 2022 and 2025, with guest vocal contributions from Mazak and Adrian. In 2023, bassist Immortal joined as a full-time member, followed by Uruk on second guitar in late 2024, finalizing a complete and stage-ready lineup.

Tenebris Cosmicis Tempora, the sophomore album, blends the furious riffing of Mayhem, the majestic elements of DHG and Emperor, and the haunting depth of Akhlys, forging a journey through idiosyncratic sound and vision. While their previous album lent significant credence to death and post-metal in manifesting their progressive black metal art, this new opus sees the band truly deconstructing their earlier sequence — shapeshifting into a weirder and more unhinged black metal entity.

Tenebris Cosmicis Tempora unfolds as an allegory of humanity’s self-destruction and self-conceit. It follows the last human’s journey from Earth’s destruction to his transformation into a godlike being consumed by his own creation. Guided first by Lucifer and later corrupted by cosmic forces, he witnesses the collapse of faith, power, and meaning. In his quest to control and recreate existence, he becomes the very force of ruin he once fled — until only the void remains, reflecting the eternal flaw of humanity itself.

Looking ahead, the band is already working on new material, rehearsing demo tracks, and continuing their relentless pursuit of twisted, black metal innovation.

Wake up, the void is near!
