HERETOIR – nightsphere LP galaxy

repress, lim. to 355 copies on blue/black galaxy vinyl, incl. printed innersleeve + sticker

Only 5 months after their 2023 mini-album “Wastelands”, Heretoir release their new intense full-length “Nightsphere”! The new record is a concept album dealing with the struggle between the forces of nature and a world of machines. Humanity is in the midst of this confrontation, and the dichotomy between living as an animal among animals and existing as a cog in the wheel of progress determines the course of the story the five songs tell.

“Nightsphere” is a dark album that weaves atmospheric black metal parts with melodic clean passages, swirling blast beats with calm post rock and ambient sounds, and the intensity of desperate screams with the poignant emotionality of melancholic clean vocals into a musical journey through an archaic world. It is also the first album that was entirely written by the full band, featuring contributions of every single member.

The album features ambient sounds of the long-time befriended project “Hidehidehide” as well as guest-appearances of two giants of the (post) black metal genre – Tim Yatras of “Austere” who fuels the song “Twilight of the Machines” with his anguish and Nikita Kamprad of “Der Weg einer Freiheit” who delivers intense and powerful vocals on “Glacierheart – Nightsphere Part II”.

“Nightsphere’s” natural and organic but powerful sound was crafted by David Deutsch and Justin Felder at 1408 Productions in Hannover, who were responsible for the mix of the record. Furthermore Nikita Kamprad of “Der Weg einer Freiheit” took care of the mastering of the album. Prepare to dive into a hihly atmospheric night-realm and emotional maelstrom with “Nightsphere”!
