I thought I’d do a post in support of a friend of mine, who I believe to be one of the most unique black-metal based artists currently about.
His ideas and production techniques are currently heavily influencing my own black metal project.
Wormlust’s Metal Archives page
Hafsteinn Arsaelsson is a multi-instrumentalist/composer/producer from Iceland. He is the founder of atmospheric black metal project Wormlust (formerly known as Wolfheart).
His other projects include The Harvest plus many more of various genres.
Wormlust’s style, I feel, is an awesome mix of “Deathspell Omega-esque” black metal, 60′s/70′s psychedelic/ambient rock (ala Pink Floyd etc..) and heavy doom/shoegaze drones – but still has its own unique sound.
I really look forward to a full-album of material!
But for now, here are 2 of his demos which are floating around the metal communities of the internet.
(2009) – Wormlust – “Seven Paths” (demo)
Tracklist:
1 – Seven Paths (12’21”)
