*** PRE-ORDER - RELEASES JANUARY 10th ***
Founded in 2018 by Dornh and Wynthar, Harvst represents atmospheric black metal that distances itself from common stereotypes, instead focusing on themes such as time, transience, personal transformation and existence. Completed by Raụch on drums, Harvst is now a trio, wrapping their message in melodic, intense, and diverse music- always with an eye on the essence, steering clear of clichéd templates.
After their debut album “Narbenhain” (2019), Harvst opens a new chapter with “Mahlstrom”. The creation of this album was an intense and lengthy process that significantly developed the band and their music. It is the result of five years of deep engagement, marked by challenges, insights, and growth.
“Mahlstrom” embodies the constant movement between past and present, between heaviness and lightness, chaos and structure. With the addition of Raụch on drums, the sound of the project became even more versatile. Harvst is particularly proud of their collaboration with Nick Superchi (Ceremonial Castings), who delivers a special guest contribution on Mahlstrom II.
While “Narbenhain” focused on reimagining remnants of old ideas, Mahlstrom is a work built from the ground up, shaped by a deeply collaborative creative process.
Harvst remains true to their vision of translating atmosphere, melody, and intensity into a diverse soundscape. Mahlstrom blends the harshness and drama of black metal with reflective moments and epic melodies. Each song tells its own story, woven into a larger concept that, beneath the surface of a nautical metaphor, explores personal depths and examines the process of letting go.
The album will be released in collaboration with Schattenpfade, Onism Productions, and Crawling Chaos Records, and will be available as a high-quality digipack with a 20-page booklet in a limited edition.
