STORMRULER has announced their forthcoming full length offering, Morning Nautical Twilight, for release on December 4, 2026, via Distortion Music Group (DMG) - Powered by Reigning Phoenix Music. The US-hailing black metal duo weave epic narrative storytelling through the track list of Morning Nautical Twilight. Alongside the album announcement, the band presents the first single, "Chapter II: In The Eye Of Umbria."

Vocalist and guitarist Jason Asberry comments on the new single release:

"We chose 'In The Eye Of Umbria' as the first single off of our new album Morning Nautical Twilight for a few reasons. It’s the second chapter in the Imperial Chronicles but the first that takes place in present day Aurelia, a realm spanning several thousand years with a vast history and many conflicts. It immediately introduces the listener to a few important characters within the world and sets the stage for the rest of the story.

Secondly, it’s a very standout track amongst the record. We explore a few new corners of our sound that we haven’t in the past but do so in true STORM fashion. It has the raw and driving rhythms of our heavy metal heroes, the mountainous and soaring leads that are heavily laden throughout this record while also keeping true to the many folk sounds that we hold dearly. We’re very proud of this record and can’t wait for you all to explore the pages of Morning Nautical Twilight."

Emerging from the gloom in a high-paced fury, "Chapter II: In The Eye Of Umbria" traverses through shadowy progressions in an untamable arrangement. Jason Asberry's intricate guitar leads entwine through the driving momentum while ferocious shrieks unleash soar above, piercing through Jesse Schobel's explosive percussion. Musically, "Chapter II: In The Eye Of Umbria" incorporates a stylistic shift into groove-led rhythms and folk-inspired melodies, situating the track firmly in the immersive fantasy worldbuilding of Morning Nautical Twilight.

The debut album Under The Burning Eclipse emerged in 2021, released via Napalm Records. This full-length was followed in quick succession by the sophomore offering, Sacred Rites & Black Magick, also via Napalm Records in 2022.
