Dziewiąty album ASENHEIM w grudniu

 

On December 10th internationally, Dominance of Darkness Records is proud to present Asenheim's highly anticipated ninth album, Wolkenbrecher, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Hailing from Germany, Asenheim was founded in 2004 under the original name Sins of Desire. The founding members at the time included Tiwaz on rhythm guitar and vocals and Verdensanskuels on lead guitar and keyboard. Since the lyrical themes increasingly dealt with pagan themes, the name was changed to Asenheim in 2006. Sometime later, Norse Raider joined as bassist. Unfortunately, rehearsals together were far too rare, which is why Asenheim developed into a solo project for Tiwaz.

After numerous demo recordings, the first Asenheim album, simply self-titled Asenheim, and the mini-album Sehnsucht were created in 2012. Already, here it was clear in which direction the music should develop. The album was musically and lyrically permeated by fantasy elements and old legends. The mini-album, on the other hand, was a confrontation with bitter, cold reality and was also much harder musically. A drum machine was used on all releases at this point.

The stylistic elements of these two releases were combined for the second Asenheim album, wenn die Nacht.... To give the album a livelier sound, Tiwaz was looking for a drummer and came in contact with Valfor. Initially planned as a session drummer, he soon became an integral part of Asenheim and, in addition to playing the drums, took over a large part of the synthesizers and also the mixing of the albums. This was followed by six more albums, a single, and a mini-album.

From oldest Teutonic steel to the pagan vastlands of Eastern Europe and even south of Helvete in ancient Hellas, Asenheim's black metal is rich in its splendor and multifaceted in its approach. Wolkenbrecher is a 52-minute journey into their rarefied realm, and one you'll want to remain in for time eternal.
