Azaghal - Nekrohelios - LP 17 TEMMUZ 2026'DA KARGO

Azaghal, the black metal pioneers hailing from Finland are back with their 13th studio album “Nekrohelios”. Another sinister record by these old timers showing the new kids on the scene how to produce a quality record in the traditional old school way of True Finnish Black Metal!

Compared to their 2 previous albums “Alttarimme on Luista Tehty” & “Valo Pohjoisesta”, you can clearly hear on Nekrohelios that Azaghal went back to their original sound and roots from their early albums such as their long time classic Mustamaa.

The album starts with a haunting keyboard piece that lures your right back into that early 90’s vibes followed by the first opening song in full fury and blast beats! Azaghal is known for their well written guitar melodies and structures, obscure sound and straight forward pounding battery combined with harsh vocals that shriek throughout the album.

However, there is also enough variety going on, mid tempo’s, break parts, choruses and a lot of keyboard pieces which create that sinister feeling (think of early emperor without sounding symphonic). Thirteen also delivers a lot of variety with his vocals, from harsh to low sounding screams, but also adding clean vocals and almost choir voices.

All in all, Azaghal once again delivered an album that is outstanding in the ways of True Black Metal and with this the veterans show that they’re still far from done! True Finnish Black Metal that every fan of real underground black metal will enjoy from start till finish.
