HOSTSOL Länge Leve Döden Cassette

Swedish black metal has always understood something the mainstream hasn't: despair is an art form. HOSTSOL, the project of multi-instrumentalist Pehr Skjoldhammer, has been refining that understanding for years, and Länge Leve Döden (Long Live Death) is where it crystallises into something genuinely heavy, in every sense.

Released in 2023, this full-length sits in that Scandinavian tradition of black metal that's less about brutality and more about atmosphere, the kind that makes you feel like you're standing in a winter forest at 3am with no coat on and no particular desire to leave. Cold, melodic, personal. If SHINING's more contemplative moments or HELTEKVA's introspective darkness speak to you, this is already your record. Get it on cassette because that's the only format that makes sense for music this bleak and beautiful.

Format: Full Length Cassette. International release.

Fans of: SHINING, HELTEKVA, Nordic atmospheric black metal.
