Band inspired by the beauty of northern nature and mysticism ANIMA HERETICAE releases their debut EP Ov Behest on October 1st. Featuring members from Red Moon Architect, Aeonian Sorrow, Paara and Frosttide the trio combines nordic melancholy to modern blackened death metal sound. Now released as a single the title track reflects the bond between human and nature on several levels. One perspective can be sensed on the music video.

Orchestrations have been arranged by Saku Moilanen who has previously worked with bands like Wolfheart.
