SOERD unleash their debut full-length ritual, “Keldrikojast”

The Estonian black metal band SOERD has unveiled its debut full-length album, “Keldrikojast”.
The title is out today via the labels Signal Rex & Lyndanise Coven on CD/LP/CS & digital formats.
The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by PRSBTR of Lyndanise Coven, in Tallin – Estonia.

While SIGNAL REX’s home base is still Portugal, the label has dug deeper into Estonia’s oft-overlooked black metal underground, and now raises the banner with SOERD’s debut album. Titled “Keldrikojast”, SOERD’s first full-length emits a mysticism that’s authentically early ’90s and yet is simultaneously elusive of simple categorization. Perhaps some of that could be due to the now-quartet utilizing their native tongue, lending a certain ageless wisdom to proceedings much like the original Norwegian vanguard did; no less fiery, the founding duo of guitarist SIIM and bassist Erik utilize their respective vocals in a harsh / clean counterpart that’s poignant and stirring to the extreme. But, in large part, it’s simply due to their strong songwriting, which ably balances passionate fury and momentum-retaining dynamics. Or, it’s just that Keldrikojast has a certain atmosphere that’s alternately spectral and earthen – or, because of Estonia’s unique geography, aesthetic ties to the prevailing Finnish paradigm and wider Eastern European expressions – putting them in rarefied territory for traditional black metal. Hearts on fire!
