Ossaert release first single – De Geest en de Vervoering & start pre-order!

After spawning one of the most haunting debut releases of 2020, the Dutch enigmatic, blasphemous presence named Ossaert is back with a stellar sophomore album that elevates the sound of the band to new, unreached levels.

While the core and skeleton of the sound of ‘Bedehuis’ remains intact, ‘Pelgrimsoord‘ expands towards vaster horizons and adds an almost majestic layer of dark solemnity to what delivered in the previous release.

Pelgrimsoord‘ immortalises its oath to the dark side with immense class and invigorated heretic ardor, superb riffing and a terrifying vocal performance at times not afraid of paying its tribute to the unholy Gods of Heavy Metal.

Out on ArgentoRecords, ‘Pelgrimsoord‘ is a Black Metal manifestation of abandonment to perdition.

Pelgrimsoord‘ will be limited to 300 LP’s (200 Black & 100 Blood/Smoke,    200 CD’s and 50 hand-numbered tapes.)

(band of the week) Dungeon synth from Ecuador – URKU LLANTHU

URKU LLANTHU is a solo musical project originating from the city of Quito-Ecuador, which was born in 2018 and in turn formally comes to light with audio and video material for the year 2020, full disc in physical format that is available since November 2020. Album contains 8 unreleased tracks (1 intro + 7 songs) and bears the name of the musical project URKU LLANTHU accompanied by its official video-clip.

The musical trajectory of the only multi-instrumentalist member of the URKU LLANTHU project (Pablo Mesías) dates back to 1998 when he was part of the band ACRACIA, a period that lasted until 2004.

After this project from 2005 to 2010 he was a member of NEKROPSIA also from Ecuadorian capital.

After a few years in the period from 2013 to 2016 he sang in BLASFEMO shortly after forming ALKITRAN project also originally from Quito-Ecuador; from 2016 to 2018.

2018 was the year when an idea that existed for a long time was born and came to light in 2020 in a totally independent and DIY way under the name of URKU LLANTHU – darkened music adding string instruments, percussion, harmonics such as piano, wind instruments etc. … and thus getting to musically capture the ideas and compositions of its only member Pablo Mesías (Atuk Urku Llanthu – pseudonym) trying to capture the atmosphere of attachment to the Andean worldview and the rescue of the ancestral language Quechua, typical of many indigenous peoples, it resides within the genre Dark Ambient/Dungeon Synth/ Folk Metal in an instrumental way expressing feelings and thoughts of the person who creates this musical framework and the project, under the proprietary seal by the same composer and author named TAKIRI PRODUCCIONES INDEPENDIENTE.

At the moment, audio-visual production in video format is available on YouTube platform official channel URKU LLANTHU:
