Amor Fati zapowiadają na dniach albumy AERDRYK i OERHEKS

With Met De Drietand Op Mijn Huid, Aerdryk makes a clear black metal statement both in execution and atmosphere. While the guitars rage on in an almost hidden, intrinsic way, the entirety of the sound of Aerdryk is carried by multiple layers of reverb and exquisite ethereal synths. Within this groundwork, fast-paced blastbeats reveal the contrast of this band, melding razor-sharp guitar melodies and a multi-layered atmosphere. This balance is felt, as well, by the old-school harsh vocals, supported by epic clean chants.

Every song on this album is a journey, one into time and history itself. Underneath it all, the bass guitar relentlessly deviates from its classical role and continues a journey on its own, like a deep-felt restlessness we carry with us along this pilgrimage.

Met De Drietand Op Mijn Huid feels like a return to and departure from '90s black metal at the same time, featuring a brilliant songwriting craft and Flemish storytelling. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Deep in the heart of the Flemish Hageland, a spirit awakens and recalls stories of ancient times past. This spirit is the Oerheks, roaming among ancient woods long disappeared. Thick melodies and a raging voice carry the listener to times beyond, times past, and times undone.

As mid-tempo drums give rise to the sub-melodies of the bass guitar, and synth atmospheres build up a tightening aura around the already multi-layered guitar melodies, one can realize that a raw sound and a clean production can go hand in hand. It’s this contradiction that feeds Cagghenvinna, as Oerheks showcase a musical landscape through the eyes of local myths and lore.

Once again, this release feels like a journey, both conceptually and musically. The first sounds of Oerheks form a clear statement of classic black metal melodicism and eerie dissonance, while stubbornly walking its own path. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
