Faroe Islands-based death\/doom practitioners Hamfer\u00f0<\/a> <\/strong>are now streaming the newest single, a cut entitled “Hv\u00f8lja,” from their upcoming Men Gu\u00f0s Hond Er Sterk <\/em>album, set for release on March 2 through Metal Blade Records.<\/p>\n Hamfer\u00f0<\/a><\/strong><\/strong> chose to record their latest effort entirely live in the studio, with no click-track to guide them. This stripped-down approach resulted in a record that pulsates with a life of its own, effortlessly shifting from passages of glacial post-metallic beauty through sorrowful folky goth cadences, via icy blackened blast-beats to shuddering vistas of extreme doom mastery.<\/p>\n “I had a big fascination with making stuff rougher, dirtier, and uglier,” reveals guitarist and producer Theodor Kapnas<\/strong> about the single. “Musically it’s all about tension; suspended chords and tense harmonies, always having that feeling of uncertainty. That song is maybe my favorite track on the record, just because it’s so uncompromising. Everything goes to 11.”<\/p>\n He added: “‘Hv\u00f8lja’ is also the darkest and ugliest song we have written to date. It is a sonic and lyrical representation of the world being violently ripped apart by monstrous currents and consumed by a black sky above.”<\/p>\n Men Gu\u00f0s Hond Er Sterk<\/em> is available for pre-order here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
