US black metal act Hulder has unveiled their new music video for the single "Hearken The End," signaling the imminent arrival of their upcoming album, Verses In Oath, set for release on February 9th via 20 Buck Spin. This album follows the band's 2021 debut LP, Godslastering: Hymns Of A Forlorn Peasantry and is available for pre-order HERE.
The newly released video, showcasing Hulder's distinctive blend of somber melodies and intense metal, was captured by Liana Rakijian and co-edited by Rakijian and the band. "Hearken The End" is a representation of Hulder's identity, deeply ingrained in the ethos of black metal yet marked by the band's unique creative autonomy.
Verses In Oath is described as the band’s most grandiose and untamed work yet. The album was recorded in the Northwest, with drums tracked at The Underworld Studios and other recordings at De Pestkerk Studios. Renowned for his work with bands like Barathrum and Impaled Nazarene, Ahti Kortelainen of Tico Tico Studios in Finland mixed and mastered the album.
Following their rapid rise, which included extensive tours across North America and a debut European tour, Hulder is now set to headline the Decibel Magazine Tour 2024. The tour, also featuring Worm, Devil Master, and Necrofier, will kick off on February 21st and travel through various US cities.
Fans can pre-order Verses In Oath in various formats, including LP, CD, and digital, from the 20 Buck Spin webshop and Bandcamp. The album, expected to resonate with fans of black metal bands like Aeternus and Satyricon, is poised to be a notable addition to the genre. Additionally, Hulder has recently been featured on the cover of Decibel Magazine, emphasizing their growing prominence in the metal scene.
The Decibel Magazine Tour 2024 promises to be a significant event for metal fans, showcasing a lineup of some of the most exciting acts in the black metal genre. Tickets for the tour are available, with a full list of dates and venues shared across promotional platforms.
