New demo from Ondes by the Ghost. From a dream, I still don't know if it as bad or soothing, or both in the same time. Sitting cross-legged, facing the lake, the mountains in front of us, we won't say anything to each other, but we have everything to say to each other...

De Tristesse, the new offering from Hermith, marks a somber and spellbinding chapter in the project's path. Conceived in collaboration with three witches, each invoked and present on a dedicated track, the album unfolds an atmosphere of profound emotional weight, blending sorrow, despair and depression in a rare and potent alchemy.

Majestic and melancholic, this Dungeon Synth release explores the realms of memory of the dead and the fragile veil between the living and the departed. Through dense layers, heart-rending melodies and ancient chords unearthed with fervor, Hermith lifts the nightfall mist, illuminating the ruins of a forgotten past like a ritual woven between darkness and remembrance...

A worthy successor to the project's previous dark opus with Une Prison, De Tristesse continues with raw sincerity and rare originality the traditional approach of the genre, while elevating it into a more intimate, spectral and mystical space. A bleak, beautiful and deeply human journey, in which each track becomes an incantation shared between Hermith and these three occult voices, united in a single funereal chorus.

Will soon arrive on cassette through Ancient King Records for European distribution from France.

Knights, this experience in Bilbao was particularly intense, thank you all so much for being there for this journey through the stars. Thanks for taking the time to listen to my music and for chatting with us during this unforgettable evening. Eöl from the legendary Elffor was among us that night, it was an honor to play in his presence, to receive his feedback and support, he's an artist from the scene that I have greatly admired for many years.

I played for the first time with Lord Bakartia's mask on stage, a mythical figure of the Dungeon Synth scene, lord of the Basque Country, and he played with my mask for his performance with Sublime Solitude, magnificently performing his track Izarren Aurkako Guda... It was truly amazing to be able to embody our two different characters through our respective projects, it was a privilege to have done it in Bilbao.

It was an honor to have played with my friends Silencio Permanente, who came from Argentina for their first European tour. I had the opportunity to see their show in Belgium at the Dark Dungeon Festival, their live performance with those old synthesizers and analog effects is always fantastic to listen to and watch with their stage setup.

Thanks to the entire organization through Dungeonlord Records, it was magnificently organized. Thanks to everyone at the Lakobra Lokala venue who handled the technical aspects, the hospitality, the delicious food, absolutely everyone, everything was truly wonderful. We'll be there to attend other events in this superb venue, so follow everything they do!

🇺🇸 IMPORTANT INFORMATION : SHIPPING TO USA 🇺🇸

Shipping as UPS parcels is possible again, but ONLY small packages. For now, all packages exceeding 3 cm in thickness can no longer be sent to the United States.

Shipping prices are too expensive lately, shipments may be delayed, or may get stuck at customs. These are situations that have arisen since the new taxes were imposed.

We really hope that a new, more secure and less expensive solution will be available very soon. I will be sure to keep you informed of any developments on this situation.
