New Belgian post-black metal outfit Achryma are being a little cagey about their lineup, offering only that the quartet is, “a new collective, featuring members from several established acts within the European metal scene.” (If you really want to know the details Metal Archives will sort you out.) The mysterious quartet released its debut EP, Hollowlight, back in March and we’re premiering a video of the title track. It was shot in black and white while the band was in the studio and consists mostly of tight shots of the musicians playing their instruments and guitarist/vocalist J.H. growling/screaming. The track is a morose, moody slow-builder that eventually picks up steam from its melodic first couple of minutes to blossom into a full-on raging sonic black metal storm.
The Hollowlight EP was produced by Achryma and was recorded, mixed and mastered at CR Studio, Belgium. It’s available digitally here.
The band described its new single as such:
“Born from personal experiences of loss, grief, and pain, ‘Hollowlight’ serves as both a process of healing and a sonic catharsis. It is a harrowing journey defined by piercing riffs, immersive atmospheres, and raw emotional outbursts.”
