HELLCOMMANDER RELEASE "YEAR OF THE GOAT"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Release Date: February 14, 2024

Genre Description: Black Metal

FFO: Mayhem, Myronath, Khaospath

Location: Sweden

Hellcommander Unleashes "Year of the Goat" - A Satanic Black Metal Masterpiece

Prepare to be engulfed in darkness as Hellcommander, the black metal force from Sweden, releases their highly anticipated album "Year of the Goat" on February 14, 2024. With influences from Mayhem, Myronath, and Khaospath, Hellcommander's latest offering promises to be a relentless onslaught of satanic black metal magic.

Led by a mysterious figure known for his involvement in Draugûl, Khaospath, Myronath, Dodskold, and Helvitnir, Hellcommander is no stranger to the darkest depths of the metal underground. "Year of the Goat" sees the artist delving even deeper into the abyss, conjuring haunting melodies and savage aggression that will leave listeners spellbound.

The album is already receiving positive feedback from critics who have reviewed it on Musikreviews. dam , Blessed Altar Zine, and Ammo Underground all praising Hellcommander's undeniable vision and excellent accomplishment. 

Musikreviews.de declares, "Vargblod makes everything right on his solo debut “ Year of the Goat ” and presents oppressive black metal between frost and fire, which does not want to deny the original spirit of the genre"

Blessed Altar Zine proclaims, "A new evil and dark project has emerged from the depths of the Northern countries, the land of cold, snow and forests… And of course, land of Black Metal."

Ammo Underground states, "With its first release year of The Goat, the HELLCOMMANDER delivers a very varied and refreshing debut. Oldschool Black Metal fans, but also fans of atmospheric black metal should definitely listen!"

"Year of the Goat" is a proof of Hellcommander's proficiency in the genre, which, on the one hand, shows their aptitude to generate the feeling of fear and desolation while, at the same time, delivering a never-ending sonic aggression.

This collection of recorded workings is a series of invocations to eight Lower Order Spirits, as steps leading to the sacrificial altar of Moloch, the King of Fire.

6.In A Breathless Flight 09:36

The band says:

"As we've received multiple requests to have and this album available digitally, we decided to remix and remaster it since the original mixes have been slightly muddy and over-compressed. However, we tried to retain the "production" feel of the band's unique sound for this period similar to the “Perfectly Calm” album.

This album was released in the year 2010 on our 10th year anniversary and contains some of the unreleased tracks from the early years of the band. Most of the songs were written chronologically after "Promo 2004” and were supposed to be out in 2006 on a split CD with the french black metal band ARS MORIENDI.

It was put on a strictly limited 150 hand numbered CDRs with pro printed artwork (scans are available). It was released by the small Ukrainian label GRIS RECORDS which hails from DNIPRO.

In 2021 I had a chance to visit this beautiful city and tried to contact the label owner Eugene, but unfortunately unsuccessfully."
