Hell:on, Ukraine’s leading Atmospheric Death Metal band, announces the highly anticipated release of their seventh full-length studio album, “Shaman”, on May 17th, 2024, via Archivist Records.
“This album had to be released two years ago, but a full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia has put our entire life on hold. Nowadays, due to our Armed Forces, we try to go on living and creating. I am sure that the spirit of this struggle was reflected in this work. It is hidden somewhere among the strings of the guitars, in the echoes of shamanic tribal vocals and flashes of ritual fires”, says the band.
Musically Hell:on continuing the same line as the previous. Same Atmospheric death metal with tribal and oriental elements. Just more tribal percussions, throat singing and acoustic instruments this time.

3. Tearing Winds of Innerself
4. Preparation for the Ritual
5. He with the Horse’s Head
6. A New Dawn
