"Manifestaties van de Ontworteling" (Manifestations of the Uprooting) boldly ventures into experimental soundscapes while preserving its eerie ambiance.

Captured live, utilizing vintage analog audio equipment, the album delivers a raw and genuine sonic journey. The band's objective was not merely to produce music but to forge an experience that surpasses conventional limits, pushing the boundaries of creativity

Recorded in isolation, “Havuportaali” blends live instrumentation, looping, and digital manipulation. The raw, barbaric simplicity of the drum tracks, shaped through a Roland Octapad and synthesisers, creates a cold, lifeless pulse that perfectly complements the monotone riffs anchoring the album. Throughout, atmospheric synths – reminiscent of 70s kosmische musik, 90s underground trance, and psybient – form a bridge between the grim black metal foundation and a more introspective, ambient dimension.

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. It reflects the cycle of birth and bereavement, with death and life beginning anew as earthen folk melodies murmur ancient slumbers into dawn. Oraklet channels these profound truths into lyrics and music.

"Stella Pandora", the impassioned and anthemic 8th album from ARKONA, finds the formidable Polish Black Metal pioneers supremely focused, superbly intense and aflame with melodic vigour.

Since their 1993 formation ARKONA have progressively fine-tuned and elevated their sound, and this follow-up to 2019’s acclaimed "Age of Capricorn" advances the band further still, as they imbue each phrase with a sense of existential yearning - a wistful awareness of the past dying inside the present
