Description
"De Ghornt" marks a new chapter in Ungfell's legacy, delving deep into the harrowing tales and dark myths rooted in Switzerland's ancient landscapes. Recorded between 2020 and 2024 in Menetekel's lair and the notorious "Crypt"-- the headquarters of the Helvetic Underground Committee (H.U.C.) -- this album is a culmination of years of dedicated work, crafted with meticulous attention to detail.
Ungfell's mastermind, Menetekel, once again takes the helm, handling guitars, bass, synths, main vocals, and lyrics, infusing the album with his signature vision. Drummer Valant not only provides the thunderous percussive backbone but also yells additional vocals to this epic narrative. The album's mix, a collaboration between Karapan Darvish (Dakhma) and Menetekel, ensures that every note resonates with the haunting atmosphere that Ungfell is known for. The final mastering, completed by Greg Chandler (Esoteric) at Priory Recording Studios UK, enhances the sonic depth and underlines the characteristic "Ungfell" sound.
Musically, the album maintains Ungfell's blend of black metal's intensity with folk influences and atmospheric elements. Traditional acoustic instruments are integrated alongside aggressive guitar riffs and fast-paced drumming, creating a varied sound. The tracks on "De Ghornt" feature dynamic contrasts, moving between intense black metal sections and more subdued, atmospheric moments, mirroring the themes expressed in the lyrics.
Visually, "De Ghornt" is brought to life by Svatohor / Matus S. Durcik's evocative album cover, which perfectly captures the album's eerie and mystical themes. Band photos by Dungeoncinth and the layout, designed by Valkenstijn in collaboration with Menetekel, further enhance the album's dark aesthetic.
"De Ghornt" offers a compelling blend of black metal and folklore, drawing listeners into a world shaped by nature, tales, and myth. With this release, Ungfell further mark their unique standing within the black metal genre. Be prepared -the horned beasthasarisen!
