🖤 Hemelbestormer 🖤

Today, 9 years ago Debemur Morti Productions released our 1st full album on CD and double LP (black). Few years ago Polderrecords re-printed the album on various gold editions.

Up till now we played "Starless" on basically every live show.

"We witnessed the great disintegration…
After Us, The Flood.
Redemption came from a Starless sky.
The Purging brought a new dawn.
Man stood alone On Desolate Plains.

We are the air that Gods breathe…
We are Aether."

Thanks for reminding us Tzertzelos.

💥Get ready for Oizys, the newest single by Lost Baron. Oizys is slower, darker, and filled with emotion. Soft, dreamy female vocals pull you in, only to be ripped apart by raw, harsh screams. It’s heavy in a whole new way—less about speed, more about feeling the weight of every note. The song captures the struggle of being trapped in your own mind, lost in loneliness and doubt. It builds, it breaks, and it leaves a mark. Oizys is something different, but still unmistakably Lost Baron. 🔥

Hedonist - Eat Thus

In the eyes of the ignorant neighbor I am, I always had and have the impression that bands from Belgium give every kind of underground music their own little twist, which makes the good stuff that little bit more interesting (and often better). But there are exceptions to the rule. Bands that don't fuss about and aim straight for their goal without any frills or unnecessary bits and bops. One of those bands is Hedonist, who don't hesitate to let you know that they have been put on this earth to let you know they mean business.

'Eat Thus' is their third full length (released almost nine years after its predecessor 'The Collapse') and grabs you by the throat as soon as thunderous opener 'Dirtscraper' bursts through the speakers and rips the essence of your being apart. Telling you it's built around a monster groove would be a huge understatement. It's stoner metal at its very best, supported by a heavy, in your face production that sounds like a freight train running over you at full speed.

As you might expect after the introduction above, Hedonist consistently roams around in the blurry no man's land between stoner and metal. If they weren't aware of that the way they obviously are, boredom and monotony could be lurking around the corner. Not in this case. The attention and emphasis shift constantly, which means at times the stoner side comes to the forefront, like on the aforementioned 'Dirtscraper' and 'Just Start Kicking', while at other times metal is the dominant ingredient, mainly in the triple attack of 'Golden Voodoo Witch', 'Warrior' and 'He***te'. And then there's a song called 'Beaumont', which wanders off the beaten path with its slightly slower pace and its extensive instrumental part that could best be described as post alternative doom rock. But like all good things, the best is being saved for last. The epic, balanced stoner/doom/metal hybrid riff fest called 'Kryszty C' ends things on a high note with lots of variation and the raw, yet pleasant vocals of Frank Homolka taking center stage. That's what I call coming back with a bang after an extended period of silence.
