Following a series of demos, EPs, singles, and the 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. 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 immensity of Verses In Oath. The result is both unsparingly savage and wistfully evocative; black blood on white snow. The ancient sorrow-filled melancholy and seething spirit permeate the entire album, by now a fundamental detail in HULDER’s identity where roots run deep in long forgotten soil. While black metal has evolved into myriad offshoots and subgenres, HULDER is resolutely steeped in the genre’s destructive preeminence, rituals, and traditions, carrying the torch of its origins and heritage.
Having spent the majority of 2025 within the throes of creation, HULDER returned in August 2025 with A Beacon From Darkened Skies, a two-track release featuring Hulder on vocals, guitars, and keyboards, joined by Necreon on bass and vocals, and Vrolok on drums.
HULDER, the US-based dark black metal duo, have released a new music video for “…And We Shall Sing,” the fifth track from the band’s third full-length album, Verbolgen. The video runs just over six minutes and is built entirely from footage captured during the band’s recent six-week European summer tour. Watch the video for “…And We Shall Sing”: https://youtu.be/RjUgRW5fAp4 Where the song’s lyrics call down a reckoning on deceivers and false allegiances, invoking the raven’s glide and the voices of beast and bird as witnesses, the video answers with unfiltered stage document: no narrative overlay, just the physical intensity of Hulder’s live show as it played out across Europe this summer. Verbolgen was released August 7th, 2026 via 20 Buck Spin (North America) and Season of Mist (world ex-North America), marking Hulder’s third full-length and first record to move beyond the project’s solo-artist framing. The album is available now on all physical formats. Order & Stream Verbolgen: https://orcd.co/hulderverbolgen
