Norwegian Black Metal band LIKHEIM launches debut EP

On May 30th 2022 Underground Kvlt Records let loose the chilling storm of “Alt Skal Svinne Hen…” and Likheim descended upon the world like the wild hunt, reaping and reaving, a whirlwind of bitter blades. And before the wounds have healed, as the leaves start to fall, Likheim will return with a new label and a full-length album. There will be no respite now that this demon has been freed.

“Alt Skal Svinne Hen…” – all shall disappear – is the debut EP from Likheim and the very first release from Underground Kvlt Records, a new subsidiary of the infamous Odium Records – an auspicious start for both parties. Underground Kvlt was set up to unveil dark treasures from the underground, unheard magic from the subterranean depths and Likheim’s shards of black ice are just such a hoard. Formed by vocalist Gretn, who remains the band’s driving creative force, Likheim exists to unleash harsh, raw black metal upon the world, elemental storms of fierce, atmospheric Norwegian darkness. The roots of the songs that form “Alt Skal Svinne Hen…”, their aching solitude and frozen venom, gestated in the mind of Gretn for nearly two decades before, inspired by André Hrafn Bendigtsen, he called upon the assistance of Polish guitarist Umarlak (Eradication) and bassist Gamle Erik (Carpathian Forest, Svarttjern) to invoke his desolate dream songs into raging, uncontrollable life. From the glorious title track to the concluding tempest of “Stormen”, the EP is an enthralling, mesmerizing evocation of the black metal spirit. Rife with cruel, unforgiving riffs yet painting visions of breathtaking grandeur and evoking powerful emotions, true Norwegian black metal will never die while Likheim remain, screaming in the heart of the blizzard.
