In times of sadness, music can be a guiding light.
We’re thrilled to welcome the US doom metal group Behölder to Black Lion Records. Known for their unique blend of melodic doom, Behölder delivers a powerful sea of emotions, moving from mid-tempo to slow, groovy, and heavy passages. Their debut album has been mixed and mastered by none other than Ronnie Björnström, the sonic architect behind bands like Sorcerer, Aeon, and Blood Red Throne.
Hailing from the US, Behölder combines epic doom with dark power metal, drawing inspiration from the classic world of Dungeons & Dragons. Founded in late 2021 by guitarist Carlos Alvarez, the band features the haunting vocals of John Yelland, the intricate solos of guitarist Matt Hodsdon, the thundering rhythms of drummer Andrew Julkowski, and the driving bass of Michael “Oneirous” Sanchez. Their music weaves cautionary tales from the dark, mythical realms of fantasy, all set against a backdrop of colossal riffs and sweeping, powerful melodies.
Their debut album, »In The Temple Of The Tyrant«, is slated for release in early 2025 through Black Lion Records. Prepare for an epic journey through magic, mayhem, and riffs heavier than a storm giant’s fury!
This is for fans of Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus, Sorcerer, and Memento Mori.
