Sweden's DIABOLICAL have delayed the release of their new album, Neogenesis, originally scheduled for release last month.

The band explains: "Neogenesis will be released on September 27th. A series of unfortunate events including struggles with the print, illness of band members, etc. led up to this decision to postpone the release but both the label and the band are confident that this is necessary in order to have it released in a proper way. Sadly this means a bit more of a wait for all of you, but this delay is not a matter of great importance in the grand scheme of things. For all of you who are looking forward to Neogenesis – have patience, it’ll be worth it."

Diabolical recently revealed that there is more to the new album than just a collection of songs. Neogenesis is also a novel telling the story of the end of the world and what lies beyond. The book is written by guitarist Carl Stjärnlöv and each chapter of the book is represented by a song on the album.

Stjärnlöv explains: “I’ve had this idea for many years and I’m very pleased that we went ahead and actually realized it. The novel tells the story of a man who fights to survive in a world that has come to an end. This struggle for survival is not only physical but also metaphysical and spiritual. The struggle of the protagonist is also a reflection of our struggle as human beings in a world which we cannot take for granted much longer.”

Neogenesis will contain the following 11 tracks:

'Into Oblivion'

'Metamorphosis'

'Oracle'

'Ex'

'World In Silence'

'Reincarnation Of The Damned'

'Fields Of Nihil'

'Dialogue With The Dead'

'Wolves' Choir'

'The Age To Come'

'Humanitas'

The band has also uploaded a fourth episode of the studio diary, in which Stjärnlöv elaborates further on the book and the concept behind Neogenesis. Check out all four episodes below:
