Hemelbestormer + Debemur Morti

[the_dying]

Hemelbestormer is Dutch for someone with revolutionary views, an idealist and someone with wild plans. Literally it can be translated as "sky stormer" or "stormer of heaven".

...and so are the five individuals behind this entity. Hemelbestormer is the MMXII omega in a long chain of births and deaths, having its roots in the black metal, sludge and hardcore scene. It is synonymous with the light bearer who searches for knowledge and enlightenment and who in so doing seeks to bring it to mankind. Revolution lies beyond the palpable. The alpha, where it all starts, and its six other wandering stars illuminate our worlds. So does Hemelbestormer proclaim their debut, a collaboration album with the Italian shoegaze band Vanessa Van Basten, to ignite the fire within YOU!

Debut show & release part "Portals".



Event:

[the_dying]

As part of the Consouling Sounds collaboration series, we were thrilled Vanessa van Basten and Hemelbestormer accepted our invitation to team up. Vanessa van Basten surely's no stranger to the fan of post metal and post rock, having released a few exceptional albums - like the 2008 Psygnosis EP album. The latter band is a new project that formed out of the ashes of Gorath - one of the most unique black metal bands that was active on Belgian soil, and a member from Serpentcult. Hemelbestormer can't shake that "black metal feel", but most definitely isn't to be pigeonholed in one genre. Their very idiosyncratic take on ambient, doom, drone, and post metal with a black metal tang matches beautifully with Vanessa van Basten's masterful approach to post metal and post rock. A truly unique collaborative effort that reaffirms Vanessa van Basten's musical prowess and that preludes a promising future for Hemelbestormer!

You can pre-order this album for 12 euro (post and packaging worldwide included) up till the release date: http://consouling.be/hmbsm_vvb.php

The portals will be opened again...

This Winter Tartarus Records will release "Portal to the Universe" on vintage cassette. Around the same time Consouling Sounds will put out an edition on precious wax. Both come without Vanessa Van Basten's parts. Instead the brand new "Portals III" will be listed exclusively on the B-side of each format.

SIGNED ON DEBEMUR MORTI

“Debemur Morti... The French label was engraved in my mind as being a pure black metal label. During recent years they have broadened their horizon, and the more recent releases of bands like YEAR OF NO LIGHT, ROSETTA, and BLUT AUS NORD made clear that things were evolving. The label proved it has an eye for quality. The total package of a Debemur Morti release always stands out musically and visually. Their striving for perfection is something HEMELBESTORMER truly admires. Plus, rooted in the Black Metal scene, HEMELBESTORMER feels very comfortable at Debemur Morti, combining post-apocalyptic music and dark aesthetics. The follow-up to "Portal to the Universe" has been fully written. Plans are made and dates are set. Keep your eyes open...

Filip on behalf of HMBSM”
