U.S. black metal torchbearers Hulder return with their third full-length statement Verbolgen and Decibel is proud to offer our own exclusive edition on Hardwood color vinyl limited to just 100 copies courtesy of our dear friends at 20 Buck Spin.
Over the course of three albums, Hulder has evolved from the vision of a solitary black metal entity into something more expansive and collaborative, though still guided by the strident vision of its creator and namesake. On Verbolgen long-time session member Necreon steps forward to join Hulder as full-fledged co-conspirator, amplifying the duos sweeping solemnity. Joined on session drums by both Vapula (the band’s live drummer) and Vrolok of the legendary Aeternus as well as live second guitar player Keld (Majesties, Obsequiae), who here contributes additional leads, keys and hurdy gurdy, the Hulder universe widens its collaborative disposition to a new creative level.
Mixed by Ahti Kortelainen at Tico Tico Studio in Finland, Verbolgen also features cover art created by Morrigan of Aeternus, her first cover work since contributing art for the earliest Aeternus LPs nearly 30 years ago. The result is a towering and immersive work that cements Verbolgen as the most potent and immersive expression of Hulder’s artistic vision to date.
