Our debut announcement from my Doom Metal band Behölder is official up, pre-orders and release info below

BEHOLD!!! We are proud and excited to share with you the art and tracklist for our debut album "In The Temple Of The Tyrant" which releases April 25th via Black Lion Records on CD, Double LP and all streaming services. Pre order / pre save links in comments below or by hitting the "Shop" button. This stunning artwork, which perfectly captures the essence of the music contained within, was created by the incredibly talented Zsofia Dankova, known for her work with bands such as Powerwolf and Elvenking. Her super friendly nature and high level of enthusiasm for the project made her an absolute joy to work with and we cannot thank her enough for everything.

"In The Temple Of The Tyrant" features 8 tracks of monstrous proportions, a true love letter to classic Doom Metal while also fusing elements of darker Power and even Traditional Metal, luring in the listener with imposing riffs, majestic melodies and epic vocals. From the colossal, Lovecraftian tinged opener "A Pale Blood Sky", to the haunting "Eyes Of The Deep" featuring a demonic guest appearance by Tomi Joutsen of Amorphis, to the immense album closer "I Magus" with its neck destroying grooves and transcendent conclusion, "Temple" stands boldly with the best offerings of the genre while carving its own unique place among
them.

Boasting an outstanding world class mix and mastering by Ronnie Björnström of Björnström Ljud & Produktion, we shall soon unleash “In The Temple Of The Tyrant” upon all who would seek dark tales of adventure filled with – Magic, Mayhem and Riffs Heavier Than A Storm Giant’s Ass!!!™

The cats out of the bag! Beyond stoked to be a part of the Black Lion Records team and to get the ball rolling with Behölder! Thanks to everyone involved with the project and for the boys for including me in this mayhem.

In Times of Sadness, Music Can Be a Guiding Light.

We’re thrilled to welcome the US doom metal group Behölder to Black Lion Records. Known for their unique blend of melodic doom, Behölder delivers a powerful sea of emotions, moving from mid-tempo to slow, groovy, and heavy passages. Their debut album has been mixed and mastered by none other than Ronnie Björnström, the sonic architect behind bands like Sorcerer, Aeon, and Blood Red Throne.

Hailing from the US, Behölder combines epic doom with dark power metal, drawing inspiration from the classic world of Dungeons & Dragons. Founded in late 2021 by guitarist Carlos Alvarez, the band features the haunting vocals of John Yelland, the intricate solos of guitarist Matt Hodsdon, the thundering rhythms of drummer Andrew Julkowski, and the driving bass of Michael “Oneirous” Sanchez. Their music weaves cautionary tales from the dark, mythical realms of fantasy, all set against a backdrop of colossal riffs and sweeping, powerful melodies.

Their debut album, In The Temple of the Tyrant, is slated for release in early 2025 through Black Lion Records. Prepare for an epic journey through magic, mayhem, and riffs heavier than a storm giant’s fury! ™

This is for fans of Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus, Sorcerer, and Memento Mori.

Its bandcamp Friday once again! For those you who don't know it's one of the days where the artist gets all the money from the purchase (aside from shipping and whatnot). So do us and all of your independent bands a favor buy a patch, shirt, and a cd to keep us all going! Also thanks to everyone who has been supporting me in all of my projects!

The Coppernicus boys performing the massive North on 77! If you haven't checked these guys out yet do yourself a favor, extremely talented musicians!

Quick update on things since it's been quiet lately on my part.
First off its been fun cranking out some work here in the studio lately, just knocked out a few vocal tracks on the next King Ov Wyrms album. Mastering is underway on my solo Oneirous project. I've been fortunate enough to be able to work on some Anira Angol material for the talented Derrek Page. We also got something coming up with Tucson, AZ's very own Coppernicus more updates to come on that. Aside from that there's a lingering rumor of Behölder getting ready to do something big.

I've still got a bit of time open for more audio work before the end of the year picks up, I'm available for mixing, mastering, editing, recording and even some session work if needed. Feel free to message me for any inquiries and help spread the word!
