Contra Omnes

About the Release

Contra Omnes is the disillusioned and defiant mantra at the centre of Afraid of Destiny’s fourth album. The band turns towards the suffocating constructs of a society perceived as decadent, framing resistance not as a slogan but as a personal and musical confrontation. Seven tracks move from Abyss through Anti, Ramblin’, Breath and Hear Me to the three-part Requiem in Do Diesis Minore. The atmospheric-black-metal foundation opens more clearly towards rock, metal and ambient colours without abandoning the band’s weight or inner tension. Written and produced between 2019 and 2021, the album was recorded in 2022, then mixed and mastered by Hannes Grossmann. Contra Omnes was released through Talheim Records on 24 March 2023 as a six-panel digipak with a 16-page booklet, limited to 500 copies.
