US-based occult doom rock trio Hail Darkness are set to enchant listeners with their debut full-length album, »Death Divine«, scheduled to be released on August 15th via their own label, Vatican Records. Ahead of the album release, the band is now thrilled to premiere the video for their haunting new track »With Horns Of A Beast« on The Sleeping Shaman.
“…trippy and kaleidoscopic video that encapsulates ’60s psychedelia…” stated The Sleeping Shaman. Watch the video for »With Horns Of A Beast« here.
The band had this to say about the video: “»With Horns Of A Beast« is the first video from our debut album »Death Divine«, the video clip portrays the psychedelic trip of a persecuted woman hunted by masked wild animal humans lost in the depths of the forest and is inspired by ’70s horror, Mansonic clans and exploitation movies.”
“»Death Divine« was recorded over a period of more or less four years during different recording sessions, it compiles and captures our vintage lo-fi occult doom rock with pinches of ’60s psychedelia and exotica creating our own musical time-warp trip.”
Comprised of ten songs, »Death Divine« sees Hail Darkness incorporating elements of occult 70’s rock, psychedelia, doom and folk to take listeners on a magical and dark cosmic journey, while the lyrics talk about occult themes inspired by old occult movies and some personal experiences. Pre-orders are now available here.
Fans can also revisit two tracks from the album that were previously released as digital singles: »Luciferan Dawn« and »Coven Of The Blackened One«. Listen to them at this location.
Hail Darkness was founded by bassist Joshua in Phoenix, where the first songs were recorded and produced around mid-2020, alongside Jez on guitar and vocals and Emmet on drums. The trio later relocated to Jez’s home in South Carolina, setting up a home studio for an extensive three-year recording session that resulted in four hours of material. Their initial goal was to recreate the vintage sound of their idols – T-Rex, Jefferson Airplane, Pentagram, Shocking Blue, Focus, Jes Franco soundtracks, Black Sabbath, Lucifer Rising, Mountain, and Captain Beyond – while blending the sounds of modern favorites like Cathedral and Electric Wizard.
In the studio, Hail Darkness is accompanied by a host of friend multi-instrumentalists, known as the Hail Darkness Coven, who contribute various instruments to craft the expansive and psychedelic sound that defines the band.
Hail Darkness is:
Jez – Guitar/Vocals
Joshua – Bass
Emmet – Drums
FFO: The Devil’s Blood, Electric Wizard, Blood Ceremony, Cathedral
