Ukraine’s melodic black metal band DEUS SABAOTH has released their second single, The Priest, from the upcoming debut album, Cycle of Death, slated for release on January 17, 2025.
“The Priest” delves into the perils of unquestioning loyalty and the distortion of spiritual purpose. By urging blind obedience and sacrifice from followers, one pushes them toward self-destructive devotion, for true peace is found only in surrendering to his oppressive force.” – says the band

The project was created in 2023 in Ukraine. The idea developed over the years, accumulating emotional experiences and absorbing new influences from the evolving black metal scene. Additionally, significant inspiration was drawn from classical Baroque music, especially the works of J.S. Bach.
The main concept of the lyrics is to reflect different perspectives on religion and the existential concerns of those who confront their mortality while rejecting any religious beliefs. These themes delve into a personal, internal struggle, exploring the complex emotions and conflicts faced by those who question the very nature of existence.
