Latvian Progressive Blackened Metallers PITS To Drop New Album “Macabre Luxuria” on January 30th; Watch “Dead Man’s Letter” Lyric Video! — ''Macabre Luxuria'' Album Cover by Andrey Nyarl

Riga’s progressive blackened metal outfit PITS is excited to announce that their new full-length “Macabre Luxuria” will see the light on January 30th!

On their debut full-length, PITS explores the heavier side of the progressive spectrum without losing touch with raw emotion. The quartet creates a soundscape that feels unstable and alive, shifting effortlessly from ferocity to introspection.

You can have a foretaste of what you might expect from the album with the song “Dead Man’s Letter,” now available as a lyric video:

Lyrically, “Macabre Luxuria” tackles the "luxury" of demise, painting scenes of scorched earth and internal consumption. From the creeping dread of "Premonition" to the apocalyptic crescendo of "Nero’s Blues," PITS offers a debut that is as crushing as it is articulate.

The band was founded in 2022 by guitarist Alex to bring a decade of accumulated musical ideas to life. What began as a solo songwriting effort evolved into a full line-up with the addition of vocalist Andrey later that year, followed by the arrival of Rodion (drums) and Aleksandr (bass) in 2024. Bringing together members from established acts, the band combines veteran experience with a distinct approach to the genre.

The debut album “Macabre Luxuria” showcases this chemistry - melding Alex’s melodic blackened riffing and Rodion’s blast beats with Alex’s progressive fretless bass and Andrey’s searing vocals.

PITS is proud to show the artwork of “Macabre Luxuria” - created by the band’s singer Andrey Nyarlh - while the tracklist can be read as follows:
