HAGEL zapowiadają nowy mini

 

On November 6th internationally, Personal Records is proud to present a brand-new mini-album from Hagel, The Veil of Shadows, on CD format.

Hagel are a black-doom metal band from Monterrey, Mexico. Formed in 1995 by Carlos Velázquez (guitar), Luis Galindo (keyboards and vocals), Fernando Galindo (bass), and David Benavides (drums), the band emerged from the underground scene of northern Mexico. Between 1995 and 2000, Hagel developed an identity that fused dark melodies, dense atmospheres, and a melodic approach characteristic of '90s black metal. The band dissolved in 2000 following the departure of Luis Galindo, leaving behind songs that remained unreleased at the time.

Hagel draw influence from the atmospheric and melodic darkness of bands such as early Moonspell, Rotting Christ, Ophthalamia, Mortuary Drape, Katatonia, Empyrium, Samael, and Tiamat, blending these elements into a ritualistic and melancholic black-doom metal identity. As considerable as their critically acclaimed debut album was, the swift-yet-satisfying The Veil of Shadows crystalizes this identity with arguably the band's most powerful, poignant material to date: ancient mysticism writ large across a five-song / 21-minute canvas.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "The Withering Tongues" HERE at Personal Records' Bandcamp. Preorder info can be found HERE. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
