[Black Metal] ALKHEMIA - “Häxen”
Band/Artist: Alkhemia
Release Title: Häxen
Release Date: March 13, 2026
Label: Non Serviam Records
Format: CD, Vinyl, Digital
Genre: Black Metal
Country: France
Two years after their debut Abraxas (2024), Alkhemia step into the next chapter with Häxen, their second full-length, due in early 2026 via Non Serviam Records.
The band spent the time in between on the road, clocking a 70+ date European run and sharing stages with Sunken, Ellende, Tsatthoggua, Necrophobic, Tsjuder, and Ancient, alongside festival appearances at Cosmic Void and Dark Troll Fest.
Häxen keeps the raw, abrasive backbone that defined Abraxas, but pushes further into a more layered and inward-looking take on black metal. The songwriting leans on heavy blast beats and sharp, melodic riffing, with a darker, more epic sense of atmosphere running through the record. Total playing time is 43 minutes.
On signing with the label, Alkhemia say:
“We are proud to announce our alliance with Non Serviam Records. This collaboration represents the opportunity to work with a partner who shares our vision of Black Metal: a dark, uncompromising, and evocative art form. Through this covenant, we are more determined than ever to carry our music and our universe to a wider audience. For us, Alkhemia has always been more than music: it is the reflection of a decaying world and the voice of those who refuse conformity. We are honored to unveil our next chapter with NSR, where we have found the altar upon which to lay this vision.”
Non Serviam Records add:
“We are delighted to welcome Alkhemia to our roster. The band has already made a strong impression with their debut, Abraxas. Their unique blend of furious modern black metal, atmospheric depth, and profound themes immediately resonated with us. We are truly proud that Alkhemia has chosen to join our label, and we look forward to unveiling the powerful next chapter of their journey together.”
