Temple of Phobos

by Vanhelgd

supported by

LORDULVER Brings an instant scowl to my face, love it. I consider this thier doom album, dark and painful. Favorite track: Gravens Lovsång.

steve "And in our top story tonight...,"

' In the glass of hours grain after grain drips down.
Prognosticate the flood in which we all shall drown.
And in their ivory towers the watchers lost their sight.
Fumbling for a match as fires set their world alight.'

Biting socio-political commentary, blasphemous augury, sheer fucking poetry. Favorite track: Rejoice in Apathy.

about

The Swedish masters of aversion and forlorn VANHELGD returns with an even darker aspect of Death Metal surpassing what is deemed traditional and into the realms of blackened Doom Metal with "Temple Of Phobos".

While still firmly locked into that unmistakable VANHELGD sound, it is clear that on "Temple Of Phobos" they have steered into a much more despondent territory; very reminiscent of the early Nineties Doom. VANHELGD have managed to capture the essence and vibe with such perfection on "Temple Of Phobos" that perhaps this will go down in VANHELGD's history as one of their heaviest, gloomiest and blackest record ever.

Recorded and mixed at Studio Underjord with Joona Hassinen (Year Of The Goat, Saturnalia Temple, Ocean Chief, etc) and mastering duties by Tore Stjerna at Necromorbus Studio (Watain, Repugnant, Desultory, etc) and once again gracing the ominous artwork by VANHELGD frontman Mattias 'Flesh' Frisk (Ghost, Entrapment, Vampire, etc).

Researched Icelandic bands before being able to visit the country in 2019 and found primarily Misþyrming!!!! They reignited and intensified an existing ( and somewhat on the back burner at the time ) love of heavy music. Even listened on the flight there! I have gotten into a lot of great bands because of them. hellaganj2000
