Die norwegischen Black Metaller Darvaza werden am 5.12.2025 ihr zweites Album "We are Him" am 5.12.2025 via Terratur Possessions, für den weltweiten Vertrieb ist Amor Fati Productions zuständig. Das Duo, Omega und Wraath, bringen nach dem 2022er Album "Ascending Into Perdition" nun sieben neue Songs mit einer Gesamtspielzeit von 42:11 Minuten an den Start. Den Song "A Last Prayer In Gethsemane" könnt ihr unten bereits antesten.» Now arrives DARVAZA's second full-length, also bearing an apt title: We are Him. Equal parts celebration, liberation, and immolation, We are Him is a fierce, finessed, and free-wheeling dedication to the adversarial might of the Devil, here molded with the clay of classicist black metal. Rough and robust but not without exceptionally tight execution, DARVAZA attack with a confidence and dangerousness too often lacking in nowadays "black metal." Signposts to the past, both theirs and their ancient forebears, are no doubt present; however, the duo's songwriting - insistent yet patient, straightforward yet layered, catchy yet never mawkish - elevates We are Him to a level otherwise unattainable by only the most devout. For this REAL, really human, of the earth but striving for the Beyond: recorded in an actual studio rather than an actual bedroom, these dynamics that DARVAZA create are sacred and suffused with spiritual import. Even when slowing the tempo to a Hammerhearted pulse, as on album highlight "Slaying Heaven," the duo's power is magnified a hundredfold, such is that import. «
