HULDER (Belgium/USA) – Godslastering: Hymns Of A Forlorn Peasantry (sealed CD copy) (2022 My Dark Desires Brazilian version issued in a jewel case w/slipcover & poster - limited to only 333 hand-numbered copies). NIGHT HOWL RECORDS is proud to announce that we are the ONLY Canadian distributor for this high-quality Brazilian CD version of this release.

HULDER’s striking debut full-length studio album Godslastering Hymns of a Forlorn Peasantry is a transportive experience. It is loaded with contagious riffs and head-moving rhythms, but it’s greatest success is in spurring the listener’s imagination, spiriting it away to settings that are far away from the mundane world. Many of those settings are the stuff of nightmares. Others are beguiling and bedazzling, but even then are beset by menace. The album is all the more impressive because it is the work of a single individual Marz Riesterer, who was born in Belgium and now dwells in Portland, Oregon.

In your mind you may walk the halls of ancient castles inhabited by hellish princes and hostile wraiths, or wander through haunting midnight forests under a crescent moon. Your blood may be chilled by the emergence of vampiric creatures from an unsettling gloom, or quickened by the whirl of dancing — witnessing both peasants cavorting ’round a roaring blaze in a freeing moment, and minuets in imperious ballrooms long lost to the ages. But none of it seems real, and almost all of it feels sinister and perilous.

The combination of all these sensations makes the record electrifying, and one there’s no temptation to leave after you have entered the Peasantry. -- My Dark Desires Records – (hand-numbered copies)
