Back in 2015, he was searching for a ░▐ ▌░ path upon which to venture inwards and quench his existential ░▐ ▌░ wanderlust: to reach beyond the veil and depict through sonic ░▐ ▌░ art what he found there. In the wake of these deliberations, ░▐ ▌░ Swedish black metal band HΣxkapell took form. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ By March 2016, Oraklet had finalised his three-song demo, ôOm ░▐ ▌░ sanningenö. It caught the eye of Nordvis û a label run by ░▐ ▌░ kindred spirits also located in the far-north of Sweden. ░▐ ▌░ Since then, heÆs been engaged in a continuous creative ░▐ ▌░ process working towards what ultimately became ôEldhymnerö. ░▐ ▌░ Having brough in session musicians on drums and violin, he ░▐ ▌░ finalised the recordings during the spring of 2021. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ After several decadesÆ worth of playing in a variety of bands ░▐ ▌░ from different genres, Oraklet has finally settled in his ░▐ ▌░ musical home. While anything but a clone, ôEldhymnerö conveys ░▐ ▌░ sheer, unadulterated veneration for classic Swedish black ░▐ ▌░ metal of all kinds. It is imbued not only with the blistering ░▐ ▌░ fury of Unisound-era Marduk but also shares the same ░▐ ▌░ reverence for classical music. Triumphant and proud, stern ░▐ ▌░ and stoic. Melodies dipped in the dreaming darkness of ░▐ ▌░ Dissection meet the longing woodland atmosphere of Otyg and ░▐ ▌░ L÷nndom. Worlds collide, but merge in the form of a unique ░▐ ▌░ and coherent fusion rather than feeling scattered and ░▐ ▌░ directionless. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Another hallmark of the era HΣxkapell draws upon was the ░▐ ▌░ importance of conceptual substance and devotion to the ░▐ ▌░ subject matter, which means that the lyrics û some of which ░▐ ▌░ emerged through psychography, or automatic writing û are a ░▐ ▌░ crucial aspect. The first chapter of HΣxkapell is dedicated ░▐ ▌░ to the element of fire. Oraklet himself commented: ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ôEldhymnerö is an album which examines, contemplates, and ░▐ ▌░ utilises the concept of fire. As a source of power, a ░▐ ▌░ destroyer, and a bringer of life û this primal and ░▐ ▌░ fundamental element takes many forms. An eternal furnace of ░▐ ▌░ chaos breeding that which lies beyond, forever tempting the ░▐ ▌░ embers of life with the flames of everlasting silence. The ░▐ ▌░ beauty of death shines bleakly in the minds of men, though ░▐ ▌░ most are too blind to behold its grandeur. Enter the chapel, ░▐ ▌░ gaze into the flames, and you shall see. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ▄▄▄┌─────────────┐▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░▐ ▌░ ▒▒▒│ marr │▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ░▐ ▌░ └─────────────┘ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ indie . pop . rock . shoegaze . dream . jangle . twee ░▐ ▌░ chamber . noise . c-86 . college . goth . post rock ░▐ ▌░ kraut . post punk . darkwave . alternative . lo-fi ░▐ ▌░ country . americana . folk . folk/rock . psychedelic rock ░▐ ▌░ progressive rock . metal . heavy metal . hair metal ░▐ ▌░ hard rock . math rock . grunge . classic rock . aor ░▐ ▌░ southern rock . west coast . punk rock . hardcore . garage ░▐ ▌░ avantgarde . classical . electronic . new wave . ambient ░▐ ▌░ synthpop . leftfield ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ░▌░ ░ █ █ ░ ░▐░ ▌░ ▓▓█ █▓▓ ░▐ ▌░ ░█ █░ ░▐ ▌░ █ ░ ▒ ░ ░ ▒ ░ █ ░▐ ░ ▌░██ ░ ▒█████░ ░█████▒ ░ ██░▐ ░ ▒ ░ ▌░█ ░ ███▓ ▓██ ▒ ▒ ██▓ ▓███ ░ █░▐ ░ ▒ ░██ ▌█▓ ████ █▒ ▒█ ████ ▓░▐ ██░ ░██████░ ███ █ █ ███ ░██████░ ██████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████ ▒███ ███▒ ██ █ █ ██ ▒███ ███▒ ████ ████████ ▒ █ █ ▒ ████████ ████ ████░ ███████░ ░░ █ █ ░░ ░███████ ░████ █████░ ████▒ ▒ ▓█ █▒ ▒█ █▓ ▒ ▒████ ░█████ █████░ ██████████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████████ ░█████ ▒██████ ░ ███████▒ ████▒▒█ █▒▒████ ▒███████ ░ ██████▒ ░ ███░ ███ ░ * █▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓█ * ░ ███ ░███ ░ █░ ███ █░ *** * * █▒█▒▒██████▒▒█▒█ * * *** ░█ ███ ░█ ████ ██ * ████████ ████████ * ██ ████ ████████ * *** ░ ░██████ ██████░ ░ *** * ████████ █████ ** ░ ████ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ████ ░ ** █████ ▒█████████████▒▒ ░░ ░░ ▒▒█████████████▒ ░▓██████████▒ ░░ ░░ ▒██████████▓░ ▒█████ ░░ ░░ █████▒ ███ ███ ██ ██ ▒█ █▒ https://www.deezer.com/us/album/255870762
