Huldrekall, Icesword and Ox 1/5/16

Huldrekall is playing a show coming up on Tuesday January 5th at the Crypt in Olympia. Were playing with two extremely glorious blackened fantasy metal bands, Ox, from Olympia and Icesword, from Flagstaff, Arizona. The show should be a lot of fun and the line-up is utterly beastly.  I think we might be playing first and seeing as its a Tuesday, we'll try and get the bands started at 9 sharp. We'll be playing a new track from our upcoming full length, so per usual, show up on time or face endless disappointment!

Huldrekall-Beneath Oblivion-Badr Vogu-Spectral Hatchery 11/21/15

Coming up soon Huldrekall will be performing at Cryptatropa in Olympia. We will be joined by up and coming Oly black metalers Spectral Hatchery (member of Twilight Falls/Mercury) , ultra doom maniacs Beneath Oblivion from Cincinnati, OH and crust/doom overlords Badr Vogu from Oakland, CA. With four bands playing the show will be starting promptly at 9, so show up on time or face ENDLESS DISAPPOINTMENT!

General News Update

First order of Business, there will be a few cover band shows in Olympia this Halloween. The most noteworthy (in my opinion) will be a house show at 1611 4th street. The line-up as far as i know goes as follows: Crucifucks, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Flipper, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper and Minor Threat.  Alex and I (Dylan) will be playing 2 sets together in Black Sabbath and Minor Threat! It should be a blast so if you're in the Oly area come on out.

2nd. Huldrekall will be playing our first show in almost 3 months the week after Halloween. On November 8th we'll be playing with Devoid from SF and He Whose Ox is Gored from Seattle at Le Voyuer here in Oly. We'll be playing stuff from our full length and some oldies from the split with L'Acephale for the first time with Alex on bass. HERE is the event link.

3rd. We've come into contact with a Greece based anarcho-crust/black metal collective called "The Dark Skies Above Us".  We've joined up with them and wanted to post their mission statement in solidarity.

4th. An ally on the east coast has designed a Huldrekall Facebook fan-page. you can check it out HERE. Thanks to Brent for making the page

MANIA, RIVER, HULDREKALL, ALDA, BLACKMOLD and TWILIGHT FALLS

So after much anticipation and far too much work I am pleased to announce the arrival of six new(ish) tapes. They are as follows:

E - 001 Twilight Falls - Lore From an Ancient Forest

2nd repress of original 2004 Tape. Pro-dubbed and hand labeled. Limited to 145 hand numbered copies on card stock with new artwork. Includes 2 bonus tracks from Twilight Falls / Bleak split "Ode to Nothingness". Repeats on both sides. Twilight Falls was/is a musical entity from the west coast of America playing a style of black metal that is extremely harsh yet beautifully melodic. going between passages of intense black metal and beautiful yet twisted acoustic and ambient, this tape is seriously awesome. I cant compare it to any band cause it has a sound and style all its own. Includes members of Boreal and Stellar Decent.

E - 011 Alda - Passage

2nd press.  Pro-dubbed and hand labeled. Limited to 200 hand numbered copies on card stock.  Alda, from rural Pierce County, Cascadia plays fantastically beautiful melodic black metal in a similaresque style to Bergtatt era Ulver.  Passage is their 2nd full length offering and their best yet in my opinion.  This album includes their trademark melodic black metal sound mixed with occasional clean vocals and glorious acoustic passages.

E - 012 Huldrekall - Into the Æther

2nd press.  Pro-dubbed and hand labeled. Limited to 200 hand numbered copies on card stock w/ full color artwork.  Huldrekall is from Olympia, Cascadia and play psychedelic black metal with heavy crust punk undertones.   Into the Æther is our first full length and includes some of the most intense output we have created yet.  Includes lots of fast blast beats, headbanging riffs and ambient acoustic/synth elements.   For fans of Taake,  Nagelfar and Ludicra.

E - 013 BlackMold - Demos Compilation

Repress of 2 demos on one tape.  Pro-dubbed and hand labeled.  Limited to 100 hand numbered copies on card stock.  Includes BlackMold Rehearsal Demo 2013 (side A) and Reign in Filth Demo 2011 (side B) .  BlackMold dwells in and around the Olympia area and plays heavy crust metal in a similar vein to Axegrinder, Motorhead and Mercyful Fate.  This collection of demos is being repressed in anticipation of the first BlackMold full length, due to be recorded/released this coming fall/winter.

E - 014 River - River

1st Repress, originally released by Eternal Warfare in 2010.  Pro-dubbed and hand labeled.  Limited to 100 copies on card stock.  River hails from multiple locations in the western Washington and Oregon areas and includes members of Mania, Alda and Huldrekall.  This was our 1st full length and is an all acoustic and instrumental neo-folk album in a similar vein as Ulver's Kveldssanger album.  This album is being repressed in anticipation of a new River full length, due to be recorded and released this coming Fall/Winter as well.

E - 015 Mania - Revel

1st press on tape.  Pro-dubbed and hand labeled.  Limited to 100 copies on card stock.  Includes amazing artwork by Eric Stotik.  This is Mania's most recent full length and continues on in his trademark twisted black metal/doom sound.   Lots of ambient influence and intense blast beats sends this release waaaay over the top.  Highly recommended for fans of Ruins of Beverast and other depraved blackened doom.

In addition to the above I still have some copies of Mercury - Inari and Wake - Discography. As well as Huldrekall "wolves" shirts and will very soon(within the week) have new Huldrekall "Nazi Metalheads Fuck Off" shirts. Ill post as soon as those are available. Unfortunately due to the rising cost of bulk tapes and photo-copying all tapes will be $6 dollars from now on. If you are interested email me at einsamkristall@gmail.com and include what you would like and where you are located so i can send you a total including shipping.
