Amor Fati Productions announces November 24th as the international release date for Däahl’s highly anticipated debut album, “Descend”, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Däahl is a new Belgian entity born from the dissolution of Lhaäd. The protagonist in reverse. Water becomes fire. Indeed, Lhaäd was elemental: Lykormas’ sonic triptych for Amor Fati was literal tsunami of slip-streaming, world-eating black metal. So, too, is Däahl: black metal is still the base, but its burning violence goes both inward and outward with inexorable intent.
Botn names – Lhaäd and Däahl, are an anagram of “hadal”, the word for the ocean’s furthest descent, the lightless chambers of abyssal trenches where pressure becomes law and silence has weight. Beyond, Lhaäd ‘s final offering has sealed the underwater trilogy with a lid pressed gently onto the deep. Yet, in sealing it, a new portal opened: a fissure at the ocean’s floor, a passage not downward, but through. This is where Däahl’s “Descend” begins.
Hadal itself is born of Hades, the God of the ancient Greek underworld, and it is there that Däahl leads you – to the depths of ignition. Past the cold crush of water, into a realm where depths are measured in flame…the sea empties itself and fire begins. Descend, again and again, until there is nowhere to delve, but dissolve into the Depeest.
Delve into the piece “Descend II”:
Ancient flame, quietly burning through the shadows. Devoted to black metal and the Dark Arts since the late 90’s. https://linktr.ee/paulafazlich
