Enigmatic black metal masters UADA are now unveiling a mind-bending new music video for the song, "Retraversing the Void," which is taken from the band's latest full-length, 'Crepuscule Natura.' The evocative clip can be found below.
UADA comments, "Originally filmed in 2021 and then re-filmed in 2023, the story of 'Retraversing the Void' spins light on the ever-old cliche' tale of rising from the fall.
"As life is full of ups and downs, it is of utmost importance to remember our worth, dedication, and inner potential so that we may understand the universes plan in guiding us along our path.
"While it may be common to feel lost from time to time, we must know we are always where we are meant to be in order to learn from the experiences life presents.
"We hope the symbolism within provides an awakening analogy of opening our perception to the balance of all things as well as the ability to listen to the greater powers (be it the higher-self, an ancestral messenger, or perhaps a deity known as one of many gods) who often speak upon deaf ears.
"We are all the substance that is and ever was."
The video comes just in time to kick off UADA's upcoming Western U.S. tour! The band will be supporting ROTTING CHRIST in the Pacific Northwest and Canada from March 25 - April 1. UADA will be book-ending the trek with a run of headlining shows from March 22 - March 24 on the West Coast and then will hit the Midwest from April 3 - April 7. ABIGAIL WILLIAMS will be support on all dates while DEATH SUPPORT will join the final leg. The full itinerary can be found below!
In addition, UADA will also be appearing at Milwaukee Metal Fest on Friday, May 17.
'Crepuscule Natura,' was released worldwide on September 8, 2023 via Eisenwald and isavailable HERE. The album was named among the best albums of 2023 by Knotfest, This Day in Metal, Riff Riot, Metal Sucks, Metal Hammer Germany, and many others!

Ever since the cloaked Pacific Northwest band appeared on the music radar, UADA has always been electrified by both polar worlds. Their echelon was stark and meaningful. Within the stretch of three albums as well as dense and triumphant live shows across the globe, they have not only spiked the map of extreme metal music but their unrelenting touring schedule and unbridled will to push forward into new horizons has also earned them a reception in all the extremes imaginable, be it worship or spite.
Five sonic vessels form the nucleus of 'Crepuscule Natura,' and within it`s 41 minutes, the record easily creates a sonic and aesthetic bridge between the band`s debut, 'Devoid of Light' (2016), and their sophomore effort 'Cult of a Dying Sun' (2018), only to forge onward upon the relentless path set forth with 'Djinn' (2020). Here, a more refined and muscular, yet no less melodic stronghold awaits. On 'Crepuscule Natura,' UADA provides all their memorable hooks, tasteful leads, and riding blasts in their distinct style, balancing their epic surging melodies with powerful spurts of aggression. Just like the band's smoke-heavy shows, the momentum and emphasis of their craft always stays grandiose, mythical, and triumphant – all the while making sure to birth a couple of new fan favorites and soon-to-be staple live songs.
'Crepuscule Natura', once again graced by the artwork of legendary Kris Verwimp and photography by Peter Beste, shows UADA on fire to unleash the marrow of black heavy metal.
