GAAHLS WYRD The Humming Mountain 10' Black Vinyl EP (2021)

Gaahl does not owe you spectacle. He's already given more to Norwegian black metal than most scenes produce in a lifetime, from his years fronting Gorgoroth through to God Seed, and now Gaahls Wyrd, a project that moves at its own pace and answers to nobody.

The Humming Mountain EP came out in 2021 and sits in interesting territory for the man's discography: dark and heavy but with folk and atmospheric currents running through it, the kind of music that feels tied to landscape rather than stage. It's meditative without being soft, and it's Gaahl continuing to expand what black metal can hold without ever softening its core. Limited to 2000 copies worldwide, this 10" black vinyl pressing is exactly the format for music this deliberate. Small run, serious statement.
