Annihilus Mundi present sophomore full length The Dead Sea Scrolls

Genre-fusing progressive project Annihilus Mundi is preparing to unleash the forthcoming sophomore full-length “The Dead Sea Scrolls” on November 6, 2026. The 77-minute long concept album explores the personal lived experiences of composer and lyricist Daniel Saillant. In a fusion of genres and artforms, Annihilus Mundi reconceptualizes the album’s central ideas through Hideaki Anno’s notorious 1995 anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion and its subsequent 1997 film The End of Evangelion.

Formed in 2018, Annihilus Mundi is the creation of Daniel Saillant, blending elements of death metal, shoegaze, and progressive rock. His 2019 debut album “Grief” and subsequent EP and single  releases have positioned him as a distinctive voice in the underground metal scene. Inspired by bands such as Cynic, Deafheaven, and Dream Theater, Saillant continues to push musical boundaries, combining harsh and clean vocals, complex guitar arrangements, and introspective lyrics.
