SAGENLAND stream HEIDENS HART debut album at Black Metal Promotion - features members of HEIMDALLS WACHT, ASGRAW, CULTUS, MESLAMTAEA++


Today, Dutch black metal classicists Sagenland stream the entirety of their long-awaited debut album, Oale groond, at the Black Metal Promotion YouTube channel. Now set for international release on January 25th via Heidens Hart Records, hear Sagenland's Oale groond in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Sagenland is a black metal project from Twente, Netherlands, founded at the turn of the millennium. Driving forces behind the project are A. (Cultus, Heimdalls Wacht, Uuntar) and F. (Asgrauw, Meslamtaea), who share an obsession for traditional Scandinavian black metal such as the legendary Ulver trilogy, old Dodheimsgard, and Arckanum. Sagenland plays folk-injected black metal with a leading role for melodic bass parts, epic choirs, and acoustic guitars.

In 2005, the band released the three-track EP Bladval on a split LP. The label ceased activity shortly after, so only a handful of copies were distributed, making this a real collectors item. Fifteen years later, Sagenland awakened from dormancy and finally deliver their debut album, Oale groond. The album follows the tradition of riff-based, well-written, actual songs, while capturing nostalgia, romanticism, and aggression in a way that is rare nowadays. This is sincere and honest traditional and folkish-themed grim black metal. Lyrics are mostly in the local dialect and describe sagas and local poetry from the countryside between Regge and Dinkel, where Sagenland is rooted.

In the leadup to its long-awaited release today, hear Oale groond in its entirety exclusively HERE, courtesy of the Black Metal Promotion YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
