HOGSTUL - “Ominous Fragmenta Tuptdalr”

1. The Beast (18:27)
2. Tomb (14:57)
3. A Nightmare at 40 Fathoms (12:27)

Hogstul was founded in 2019 by Kjetil Ytterhus (Profane Burial, ex-Haimad, Khôra, Omnia Moritur). The band/project’s first intention was to release a pure orchestral journey with material gathered from over the years. When the track “A Nightmare at 40 Fathoms” was finished arranged and the orchestra worked to perfection, Kjetil felt something was missing, even though the desired feelings were present and achieved. Drums were programmed as a test to see if this could be a metal project worthy. Then guitars and bass were written and done as well before the ultimate challenge; vocals. Kjetil had never before done any vocals whatsoever, but a microphone was bought and then he entered his studio with great spirit. Hogstul then sent all the material to Stemcellar studio for three mix and mastering sessions during the years 2019-2020.
Early 2021 the album was independently released on CD and all streaming platforms, later that year Cassette and Vinyl was released via Screaming Skull Records where Hogstul also was signed to their roster.
The second album is already finished and will be released in 2022 with the title “Telemark Horror”.
