H.L. In recent months, I've developed a great passion for Dutch black metal, discovering bands like Shagor, Alburnum, Ande, Dinbethes, Nachtheem, and Suol. Now, Hellevaerder is another great band. Reminiscent of the '90s in its atmosphere, raw yet melodic, the album offers some atmospheric songs that stick in your head and stay with you. Particularly recommended are "De laatste dageraad" and "In der Ban der Lusten," with their very catchy and haunting guitar passages. Favorite track: De laatste dageraad.

sashavonkarl74 I've read "The worshippers of nothingness are Warriors of the Unlight"... I liked it!

Dutch female-fronted BM, sounded good too. Miranda is very talented, and a beauty and screams like a demon...ess :)

The pre-released tracks are great, and Dutch is harsh enough to always fit in quite well for BM. Favorite track: Schaduwen van satijn.

about

Fakkeldragers (Torchbearers) is a continuation of the tale of the guardian of light; the previous album, 'In de nevel van afgunst' (In the mist of envy) told stories about the guardian of light defending the will to live while the worshippers of nothingness defended the need to perish the soul, becoming one with the universe.

In this saga the guardian is captured and dragged into the gates of eternal slavery, a world made from darkness. Light tries to find its way through the tiniest of openings, and the duality remains. After the capture she remains to find the will to live. The light conquers all, she said. But dying means enlightenment. After being dragged away towards the gates of nothingness she remains faithful to life. The will to live conquers the need to die...

The worshippers of nothingness are warriors of the unlight, the eternal stare-off between the everlasting wisdom in the here and now, foretold in 9 stories. You will be dragged down and be held captive. Forced to endure the tales of awakening. A way to deal with everyday life, a duality of wanting to, and needing to.
