"Pact of Blood," set for release on March 7, 2025, via Nightside Records and Hexencave Productions, brings together two well-established names in atmospheric black metal. Each band contributes two new tracks, showcasing their individual styles while complementing one another’s sound to create a dark and immersive listening experience.
Elffor
With nearly three decades of music behind him, Elffor has crafted a sound that blends epic atmospheres with grand orchestration. His contributions to this release capture a balance between intense black metal passages and sweeping symphonic sections, shifting between aggression and melody to create a cinematic, immersive experience.
Aeon Winds
Formed in 2007, Aeon Winds has become a key name in Slovakian atmospheric and symphonic black metal. Their music is built on anthemic melodies, rich keyboard arrangements, and a blend of cold atmospheres with controlled aggression. The tracks they present on Pact of Blood combine melodic intensity with eerie, symphonic depth, paying homage to their influences while refining a sound that is distinctly their own.
