We somewhat missed this one amid the near-constant wave of new releases and exciting news from the world of alternative, independent, and heavy music — but three years after the release of their 2021 album ‘Collide & Merge’ on Ván Records, Belgian post-metal ensemble Hemelbestormer returned in the fall of 2024 with a brand new long-form single: “Satre”.
This sprawling track also features on the compilation ‘Hemispheres: Volume VIII’ by A Thousand Arms label.
After exploring the outer reaches of space with our former partners, it was time for us to take the next step. Pelagic felt like the natural choice – their artistic vision, work ethic, and forward-thinking approach immediately won us over. The stars have aligned.(Hemelbstormer)
Nearly ten minutes of a cosmic, instrumental sonic odyssey, shaped like a post-hardcore/sludge/ambient/doom/black-metal opera, driven by a titanic sonic power. A track that also marks the beginning of a new chapter for the band, now signed to Pelagic Records (Cult Of Luna, envy, Mono, Year Of No Light…), through which their upcoming album will be released.
Hemelbestormer continues the tradition of heavy instrumental projects born from the fertile ground of Belgium. We are proud to announce the release of their new album, The Radiant Veil, next summer – an ambitious concept exploring the perception of bright stars in Etruscan civilization, circa 500 BC.
