San Francisco atmospheric black metal act Lurker of Chalice is planning a reissue of its highly sought-after debut album through Southern Lord Records.  "Lurker of Chalice" was originally an extremely limited-edition, hand-numbered release, and has long been sold out.  The reissue will come as a digipak and will feature a bonus track previously found only on the vinyl edition.  The release date for "Lurker of Chalice" is mid-april, and preorders are available through Amazon and Omega Mailorder.

Lurker of Chalice is also planning a new album, presumably later this year, according to Battle Kommand Records.  The new album will be titled "Perverse Calculus, and the release will be split between Battle Kommand and Ajna.  

For those who don’t know, Lurker of Chalice is the one-man project of Leviathan mastermind Wrest, and takes Leviathan’s black metal sound to much further depths of darkness and malevolence.  The music resembles acts like Fields Of The Nephilim (Elizium era) and Bauhaus just as much as it does any of the current depressive/ambient black metal acts.  Leviathan recently released new album "Massive Conspiracy Against All Life" earlier this year.
