AATR Premier – Hellsword “Chains Of Mortality” – Video
9th September 2021 0 By Jon DeauxTime for the debut HELLSWORD album is drawing closer and today a new song from âCold Is The Graveâ gets unleashed. âChains Of Mortalityâ captures perfectly the spirit of the Slovenian trio: itâs raw, itâs heavy and it summons the spirit of the greatest bands of all time: Hellhammer, Venom and Bulldozer!
Slovenia’s answer to the first wave of black metal, Hellswordâs goal has always been to exhume the most ancient blackened speed metal out of the crypt it had been unrightfully interred into. Formed in 2009, the band has developed a cult following after the release of their demo âBlasphemy Unchainedâ.
Drawing influence from early black metal pioneers such as Venom, Bathory, and Hellhammer as well as newer bands like Destroyer 666 and Nifelheim with an added touch of heavy metal, the trio comprised of Mark Massakre, Mike Manslaughter, and Ironfist now returns with their first full-length album, âCold Is The Graveâ to be released in September via Emanzipation Productions. It builds upon the bandâs previous work with nine tracks ranging from face-melting speed to slower paces and dealing with topics such as devil worship, the end of the world, death, desolation, mortality, and the absurdity of human existence.
Ever since its formation, the trio has been dedicating themselves to the pursuit of bringing back the sound, feel, and atmosphere of the first wave of black metal. The band has, besides the now cult demo âBlasphemy Unchainedâ also released the âSounding the Seventh Bellâ EP and has played numerous shows both in Slovenia and abroad.
âCold Is The Graveâ will be released in digital, LP, and CD formats by Emanzipation Productions on 24th September 2021.
