On October 13th, HHR will be releasing NIHILL's Grond full length. Part two of the trilogy that started with Krach (which just saw a proper North American release via the handsome gentlemen [and lady] of HHR), Grond continues with the black metal scuzz that we can't get enough of. In honor of this release, we are offering a new shirt design which you can gander at above.

"..brutal, necro-weird black metal with a choirs-of-hell agapeness á la Deathspell Omega or Funeral Mist when they blast and make like Immortal circling above in time before time; raw industrialised Burzum-isms; Mayhem-style spoken-word schizo-grumbings; abstract ambient doom propositions. All here, and coated in a sheen of Lustmord-esque sonic filth." - Decibel Magazine

September 15th marks the North American release date for NIHILL's Krach, via HHR. We got the preorder all launched up over at our webstore, which includes a smooth shirt (image below). Nihill's follow-up, Grond, will follow shortly, so be on the look out.

"The first two minutes of 'Gnosis: Part 1,' would not sound out of place on an Einsturzende Neubauten album, but from the two minute mark on the track is pure doom metal. The guitars cut and slash in horrible slow motion, long sustained chords that grate against subtle, barely-there drumming, complimenting a vocalist choking on every anguished scream, akin to Abbath if he was recorded drowning in the bottom of an infinitely deep well."

- Diabolical Conquest

contorted blasts of string strangulation.

drifting slabs of icy ambience.

martial drums plodding forth from the center of dead planets.

the clanking cacophony of the processional denizens of the graves of the earth.

gurgling howls choked from the depths of bottomless oceans.

torrential clouds of buzzing locusts to shroud the skies in blackened waves.


these are the contents of the tome known as "krach", crafted by the KVLT of NIHILL.

originally released by monumentum records in europe, now set for a domestic release via hydra head in september 2008.
