Ice clear natural vinyl with LP booklet.

Background information about 'Polar Veil'

Hexvessel delivers an absolutely mesmerizing journey through the frozen landscapes of consciousness with "Polar Veil". This Finnish psychedelic folk collective has crafted something truly extraordinary here – a sonic expedition that feels like wandering through ancient Nordic forests under the aurora borealis. The opening track "The Tundra Is Awake" sets the tone with haunting melodies that seem to emerge from the earth itself, while "Older Than The Gods" weaves mystical narratives that tap into something primordial and deeply moving.

What makes this album absolutely captivating is how Hexvessel manages to balance ethereal folk sensibilities with darker, more introspective moments. Tracks like "Listen To The River" and "A Cabin In Montana" showcase the band's ability to create intimate, almost shamanic experiences that transport you to remote wilderness settings. The second half maintains this spellbinding atmosphere with "Eternal Meadow" and the gorgeously mysterious "Crepuscular Creatures", building toward the album's emotional crescendo with "Homeward Polar Spirit" – a track that feels like a spiritual homecoming after a long journey through the wilderness.

For fans of:
Wardruna, Dead Can Dance, Ulver, Agalloch, Wolves In The Throne Room
