ARKHAAIK unveil the spell “Hagrah Gurres”

The Swiss blackened death/doom metallers ARKHAAIK unveil the spell “Hagrah Gurres”.
The song is taken from ARKHAAIK’s sophomore full-length “Uihtis”, out July 25th via Eisenwald (https://bit.ly/4kU2ugC).
Arkhaaik is one of the most fascinating entities from the notorious Zürich, Switzerland, based circle around Ungfell, Dakhma, and many others.

“Hagrah Gurres” follows a hunting party of bronze-age tribesmen into the depths of the woods, while they are hunting a fierce beast – as the sun hunts the moon. They tremble as they hear the grunts of a mighty bear through the lush foliage. Full of resolve they attack and ultimately bathe in the blood of this holy creature. Hagrah Gurres – hunting the beast!

On “Uihtis” (the hunt), ARKHAAIK – nomen est omen- explore the theme of hunting in a Bronze Age context. The album opts for an unconventional and refreshing approach, allowing it to rise from the ranks of a concept album and ascend to a truly metaphysical, yet distinctly human experience. In order to achieve this, the act of “the hunt” is explored on two distinct levels: While half of the album is dedicated to the very real act of hunting an animal and the ceremonial slaughter of the sacred creature, the other half takes a different approach by exploring the theme on a transcendental level – here the sun „hunts“ the moon and vice versa.
