Nightsphere by Heretoir

6 years after their highly acclaimed album "The Circle" and shortly after their 2023 mini-
album "Wastelands", Heretoir is back with their new intense full-length album "Nightsphere"!

The new record - which will be released by Northern Silence Productions on 6th, October 2023 - is a concept album dealing with the struggle between the forces of nature and a world of machines.

Humanity is in the midst of this confrontation, and the dichotomy between living as an animal among animals and existing as a cog in the wheel of progress determines the course of the story the five songs tell.

"Nightsphere" is a dark album that weaves atmospheric black metal parts with melodic clean passages, swirling blast beats with calm post rock and ambient sounds, and the intensity of desperate screams with the poignant emotionality of melancholic clean vocals into a musical
journey through an archaic world.

It is also the first album that was entirely written by the full band, featuring contributions of every single member.

The album features ambient sounds of the long-time befriended project "Hidehidehide" as well as guest-appearances of two giants of the (post) black metal genre - Tim Yatras of "Austere" who fuels the song "Twilight of the Machines" with his emotional vocal anguish and Nikita Kamprad of "Der Weg einer Freiheit" who delivers intense vocals on
"Glacierheart - Nightsphere Part II".

The natural and organic but powerful sound of the record was crafted by David Deutsch and Justin Felder at 1408 Productions in Hannover, who were responsible for the mix.

Furthermore Nikita Kamprad on top of his guest vocals also took care of the mastering of the album.

Prepare to dive into an emotional maelstrom and highly atmospheric night-realm with "Nightsphere"!
