Blood Magick returns with ‘Moribund’, a first album in five years
Blood Magick “Moribund” is out now: the Swedish project of Patrik Sandermo returns with a 10-track album, its first full-length since 2021’s “Hexikon”.
Five years after “Hexikon”, the Blood Magick “Moribund” album is out. The Swedish electro-industrial project of Patrik Sandermo released the 10-track set on 26 June 2026, and it is available as a digital download on Bandcamp.
Blood Magick mixes atmospheric horror electro and EBM elements, and Sandermo describes the project as “Swedish Death Synth”. That occult angle carries straight into the new album’s track titles, most of which reach for Latin: “Moribund” opens on “Vox Mortis” and closes on “Extremum Vitae Spiritum Edere”, with “Veni Veni Spiritus Ad Vincula Mea (Ritual Command)”, “Exitus Letalis (Conjuring The Seven Lords)”, “Exsurge E tumulo” and the paired “Memento Mori I” and “Memento Mori II” sitting alongside “Dance Macabre”, “Phantasma Ex Machina” and “Inferni”.
‘Moribund’ is the first Blood Magick album since 2021
The new record ends the longest pause in the project’s catalog. Blood Magick released “Hexikon” on 10 July 2021, and no full-length followed until “Moribund” arrived this June. The album is out on the project’s own Bandcamp page; no physical edition has been announced.
About Blood Magick
Patrik Sandermo formed Blood Magick in Sweden in 2014. Emilia Forsell joins him live on keys and programming. The project debuted on Bandcamp with “Ascension”, a 20-track set released on 15 September 2018, and followed it with the five-track “Adversary” on 13 September 2019 and the 11-track “Incubus” on 1 February 2020.
“Hexikon”, released on 10 July 2021, brought another ten tracks before the project went quiet on the album front. Blood Magick also appeared on the Swedish Electro Scene compilation “swedish electro vol 6 / the remixes” with “Crossroads (Hekateon Mix)”. “Moribund” now stands as the fifth Blood Magick album and the first new full-length in five years.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
