HIVELORDS-TAPERED LIMBS OF A HUMAN STAR

by Anthropic Records

supported by

CURSED BREATH HIVELORDS has been progressively getting better and better with every tour and every release. This record by itself is fantastic. Doomy Black Metal Nightmare-Fuel. This record showcases how far this band has come and highlights where they will be going in the future.
But really, you have to see this band live. The entire experience is nothing short of being violently oppressive. You can feel the terror of every riff, every distorted howl in your very soul. Favorite track: SOOTHSAYER WORM.

about

HIVELORDS are an avant-garde, dark metal band from PHILADELPHIA. Their sound is thick with blackened layers of nightmarishly crafted guitar smoke and ritualistically crawling bass groove. Their vocals vehemently invoke consternation and awe, while the percussion seamlessly intertwines sophisticated phrasing and precise brutality. By combining serpentine melodies and tasteful song structures, they are defining a new iteration of dark metal. HIVELORDS manifest an alluring and intimidating darkness irrefutable by any listener. As Steel for Brains put it, “…a place as sinister as it is inviting.”

Black metal psychedelia at its finest. Eerie, unnerving yet comforting and smoothly flowing at the same time, the beginning of SKAPHE. liltito

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
