Thulcandra’s rise to power ignited when the band unleashed their debut album, “Fallen Angel’s Dominion”, upon metaldom in 2010. The group, fronted by founding member and visionary, Steffen Kummerer (also of Obscura fame), have since tightened their hibernal grip on blackened death metal. The desolate melodic emanations in follow-up studio records “Under a Frozen Sun” (2011), “Ascension Lost” (2015), and the chart-topping, 2021 album, “A Dying Wish”, dedicated to late bassist Chris Kratzer, solidified Thulcandra as a superior force, expertly thrusting the magic and mystery of mid-90s melodic black-death metal into the modern era.
Their latest output, “Hail the Abyss”, proves yet again why Thulcandra are atop death metal’s malefic vedette. As always, Thulcandra’s about a vibe – there’s always a unique “feel” that’s distinctly old-school, but without the tired trappings of it. “Hail the Abyss” showcases the band’s affinity for dark, aggressive and mellifluous metal while the entire album – same like their live appearance – rips and terrorizes with the intensity of hell!
