EISENKULT set release date for new PURITY THROUGH FIRE album, reveal first track – features members of MAVORIM, TOTENWACHE, MUECHELMORD+++

Today, Purity ThroughFire sets June 7th as the international release date for Eisenkult‘s highly anticipated second album, …vom Himmel, hoch herab, on CD and A5 digipack formats. The vinyl LP and cassette tape versions shall follow later this year.

It was but a year ago when Eisenkult made their bolt-from-the-blue debut statement with …gedenken wir der Finsternis. A blood pact shared among members of Mavorim, Totenwache, and Muechelmord, it was only logical for Purity ThroughFire to further the propaganda with the release of Eisenkult‘s debut album. Perhaps not surprisingly, …gedenken wir der Finsternis gleamed with the righteous steel of Teutonic black metal: pure, proud, and traditional!

Wasting no time keeping that enviable momentum going, Eisenkult‘s second full-length strike arrives 11 months later bearing the title …vom Himmel, hoch herab. Once again boasting an evocative 8-bit-style intro, the listener is immediately whisked away to forgotten realms as the power-trio plunge into stoutly second-wave classicism, here even more folkloric and fantastical than their not-inconsiderable debut album. And whereas that debut LP shocked & awed with its succinct 28-minute runtime, here with the 42-minute …vom Himmel, hoch herab do Eisenkult reveal the full splendor of their powers, deftly moving from anthemic mid-tempos to mystical swooshes of speed, the atmosphere most medieval and the songwriting simply stunning. Likewise, the production across this album is gritty-yet-clear, convincingly mid-to-late ’90s as its content.

Dark melodrama for dreamers, journeyers, and all others against the modern world, Eisenkult come bearing better chainmail and sharper swords with …vom Himmel, hoch herab. The past is more alive than ever!

EISENKULT set release date for PURITY THROUGH FIRE debut – features members of MAVORIM, TOTENWACHE, MUECHELMORD

Today, Purity Through Fire sets July 15th as the international release date for Eisenkult‘s striking debut album, …gedenken wir der Finsternis, on CD, vinyl LP, A5 digipack, and cassette tape formats.

Although a brand-new entity, Eisenkult is a blood pact shared among members of Mavorim, Totenwache, and Muechelmord, so naturally, it was only logical for Purity Through Fire to further the propaganda with the release of the band’s debut album, …gedenken wir der Finsternis. Righteously and resolutely traditionally-minded, Eisenkult first strike is a swift, splendorous journey into the more folkloric and fantastical reaches of second-wave classicism. The poignant 8-bit-style intro immediately whisks the listener away to forgotten realms, where the band then proceed to plunge into icy waters of raw-yet-melodic black metal brewed exclusively in the mid-to-late ’90s. Medieval is the atmosphere, austerely Teutonic is its feel, swords sharpened and aloft and with no shortage of chainmail to spare, Eisenkult‘s …gedenken wir der Finsternis is simply 28 minutes of dark melodrama for dreamers, journeyers, and all others against the modern world.

No more but definitely no less, Eisenkult create an authentically ancient landscape worth wandering, and it bears the name …gedenken wir der Fisnternis. As is often the case within the Purity Through Fire stronghold, the past is always alive!

Begin roaming that ancient landscape with the brand-new title track “…gedenken wir der Finsternis” here:
