MAYHEM - Deathcrush · CD

Black Vinyl LP with a poly-lined inner sleeve, insert, and a 3 mm spine heavy jacket. About the album From the remote reaches of Haparanda, Sweden, Häxkapell presents a black metal masterpiece that resonates with the eternal rhythms of nature and the cyclical dance of life and death. 'Om jordens blod och urgravens grepp' ('Of earth’s blood and the grave’s grasp') is a powerful blend of black metal, folk, and atmospheric darkness, interwoven with classical and progressive influences. Traditional instruments such as the violin, viola, willow flute, and hand drum infuse the music with ancient, primal energy. The lyrics, crafted through subconscious writing, serve as a conduit to the mystical and otherworldly. The album was engineered, produced, and mixed by Oraklet. Drums were recorded at Nordvis Ljudstudio, with the remaining tracks laid down at Studio HMH. Mastering was handled by Tore Stjerna at Necromorbus Studio. Founded in 2015 in the northernmost part of Scandinavia, Häxkapell is the creation of Oraklet, who embarked on an inward journey to explore the philosophical, spiritual, and mystical aspects of existence. Following the 2016 demo 'Om sanningen,' Häxkapell released their debut album 'Eldhymner' in 2021. On 'Om jordens blod och urgravens grepp,' Häxkapell’s music evolves much like the earth itself: slowly, imperceptibly, yet ever-changing. Track listing A1. Satans Rötter A2. Metamorfos A3.
