Forging a unified pact of Sussex heathenry, Feohland is a collaborative full-length album uniting UK underground entities Hyrde and Hemlokk. Grounded in the deep loam of the Southern Weald, the release stands as a powerful testament to the region's ancient Anglo-Saxon heritage.
The album masterfully balances the distinct sonic strengths of both projects. Hyrde surges forward with his thunderous pagan black metal, conjuring the visceral fury of a Dark Age shield wall. Seamlessly, Hemlokk weaves in their signature rural neofolk, using mournful acoustic guitars and delicate piano to capture the quiet, misty solitude of pastoral life. Together, they craft an expansive soundscape that swings continuously between blood-pounding aggression and fragile, fireside reverence.
Bound by shared themes of forgotten lore, ancient kingship, and crumbling iron-age barrows, Feohland is a deeply immersive historical saga. It bypasses being a mere collection of tracks to offer a fiercely evocative journey, inviting the listener to wander the fog-shrouded expanses of old rural Britain and exhume the wisdom of a long-lost era.
Available exclusively on the 4th side is the brand-new studio neofolk EP, Wassail Old England. Serving as a sentimental love letter to the golden era of the British neofolk scene, it echoes like Fire + Ice reborn for the modern era.
Available on double heavy 180g black vinyl with Japanese style tip-on gatefold jacket, Japanese OBI and 12” insert.
