Hulder - Grand Social November 28th 2024

US black metal outfit Hulder will hit Grand Social, Dublin on November 28th. Tickets on sale now from Ticketmaster & usual outlets 🔥
HULDER (led by the self-same artist) was born in 2018 within the dense landscape of the American Pacific Northwest. She quickly offered forth a series of demos, EPs, singles, and utilized her fixation on medieval lore as inspiration for the acclaimed 2021 debut LP Godslastering: Hymns Of A Forlorn Peasantry. A pivotal 2022 saw HULDER release The Eternal Fanfare, a five-song mini-album, marking a new phase in the project's rapid development and garnered interest from various metal publications, domestically and abroad. Further to HULDER's auditory ascendency, the band set the live stage ablaze, touring widely in North America throughout the year and into 2023, which brought them to European shores for the first time as well. Spurred on by these noble victories, the ground was prepared for the band to take on the headlining slot of the 2024 Decibel Magazine Tour and announce a brand new offering of darkness.

The hauntingly grandiose new HULDER album Verses In Oath, due February 9th, 2024, constitutes the most majestic, untamed manifestation thus far in the band's journey of conquest, as new territory is put to flame and conquered by sword and shield.The ancient sorrow-filled melancholy and seething spirit that are the essence of "Hearken The End" permeate the entire album, by now a fundamental detail in HULDER's identity where roots run deep in long forgotten soil. And whilst the slashing cruelty and torn flesh of "Vessel Of Suffering" and "Enchanted Steel" embrace a predatory barbarism, it is the joining of all those elements that places Verses In Oath in the timeless pantheon of black metal's most strident lineage.While black metal has evolved into myriad offshoots and subgenres to the point of incomprehension, HULDER is resolutely steeped in the genre's destructive preeminence, rituals, and traditions, carrying the torch of its origins and heritage. The result is both unsparingly savage and wistfully evocative; black blood on white snow.

This is an interesting announcement and not one I expected. Don't know the band really well but what have heard is good and she seems to get a lot of praise. At least this is an excuse now to look into the band further.

I'd love to go to this gig but work blah blah. I love the 2 full lengths. The older eps have some savage moments as well.

[open face surgery]

Will be interesting to see how this does.

Some bullshit signal fault with Iarnród Éireann so I'll not be able to get to this now and then they pretend to not know why people have no faith in public transport.

Tickets are physical so I can't even give them to someone else who can get to the venue.

Does anyone know if this was good , bad or indifferent?

I just saw one comment online saying the show was great. I would be interested myself in knowing how it went simply because we do seem to be getting less and less of these types of shows since the MCD move and seems to be lot more of stuff I never heard of / would have absolutely no interest in.
