Background information about 'Substanz'

Heretoir delivers something truly special with "Substanz" – a mesmerizing double-disc journey that showcases the German atmospheric black metal masters at their most contemplative and powerful. This isn't just another black metal release; it's a carefully crafted sonic exploration that bridges the gap between raw emotion and sophisticated composition. The album presents two distinct yet interconnected mini-CDs, each offering a unique perspective on Heretoir's vision, with tracks like "Weltenwandler" stretching beyond eleven minutes of pure atmospheric bliss.

What makes "Substanz" absolutely captivating is how it demonstrates the band's ability to create both crushing intensity and delicate beauty within the same musical framework. The interplay between the two discs reveals different facets of familiar compositions – "Erwachen Im Dunkel" and "Ein Schrey In Die Nacht" appear on both discs with subtle variations that reward careful listening. The inclusion of "Snow Colours" on the second disc adds an ethereal dimension that perfectly complements the German-titled tracks, creating a truly immersive experience that stands as a testament to Heretoir's artistic maturity.
