Today, Signal Rex announces June 6th as the international release date for a reissue of Akhoth's debut album, Of Might and Hierarchy, on CD format. The vinyl version will follow later.
Forged in the shadows of obscurity and hewn from the ancient spirit of conquest, Of Might and Hierarchy, the debut full-length from Australia’s Akhoth, emerges once more, this time with the strength and reach it rightfully commands.
Originally released in a highly limited domestic CD edition, the album quickly dissolved into the underground, whispered about among devoted circles yet seldom obtained. Now, through the auspices of Signal Rex, this formidable work is reborn in definitive form: pressed on both audio compact disc and vinyl LP, and made available to a wider international audience for the first time.
Akhoth's sound is steeped in the essence of medieval black metal - unyielding, austere, and reverent of a bygone age defined by hierarchy, steel, and divine authority. Across its seven tracks, Of Might and Hierarchy conjures visions of feudal dominion, ritualistic warfare, and the cold transcendence of power. The album’s raw-yet-deliberate production preserves its arcane aura, while its pacing and structure evoke the grandeur of ancient rites rather than the fleeting impulses of modern extremity.
In an era of excess and immediacy, this work stands apart: patient, imposing, and resolutely bound to tradition. Its initial scarcity only deepened its mystique. Now, this reissue ensures that its presence will no longer be confined to the fortunate few.
The age of obscurity has ended. The hierarchy stands revealed.
