Alkhemia unveil HÄXEN — for fans of Mgła, Naglfar, and Gaerea – Black metal

Forged in Lille’s underground in 2021, Alkhemia surge forward with HÄXEN, their most incisive statement yet. Following the acclaimed debut Abraxas, the band pushes deeper into a sound that is raw, abrasive, and unmistakably modern. HÄXEN channels speed, tension, and melodic darkness—where emotional collapse meets sharpened clarity—and cements Alkhemia as one of Europe’s most vital new black‑metal acts.

While preserving the raw, aggressive and abrasive roots of their first offering, the band now evolves toward a richer, more modern and introspective form of black metal.

Häxen is a multi-faceted album: violent yet melancholic, fast yet melodic, driven by a constant tension between rage and lucidity. A piece of occult, modern and incisive black metal that will resonate with fans of Mgła, Naglfar, Gaerea, Der Weg einer Freiheit or Sargeist.

This is a philosophical journey into witchcraft and the decay of a civilization collapsing into Orwellian dystopia – a world where the ones who refuse to conform become outcasts. Through its new tracks, Alkhemia embodies the oppression of these “modern sorcerers” – marginal, dissident, unyielding – stigmatized for rejecting the norms they despise.

Häxen is a cry of revolt for the voluntary loners, a sonic march for the defiant and the free.

Even the blackest of black metallers emerge onto an internet page where you can purchase their black metal.
