HULDER RELEASES NEW SINGLE "IN BLOOD AND IN EARTH"

Dark black metal duo HULDER have released "In Blood and In Earth," the second single from their forthcoming album Verbolgen, set for release on August 7th, 2026 via 20 Buck Spin (North America) and Season of Mist (Europe). The track is accompanied by an official music video directed by Newfoundland filmmaker Justin Oakey, arriving as the final preview before the full record drops.

Running just over seven minutes, "In Blood and In Earth" is an act of communal rite set in motion by the landscape itself. The track builds from foreboding restraint into sweeping, storm-gathered momentum, as Hulder's vocals call out an incantation before the full weight of the arrangement bears down. The song frames endurance and bloodshed not as tragedy but as covenant: a pact between flesh and earth that the living inherit from the ancient dead. The band describe it plainly: "This second offering from the forthcoming album stands as a warning and a spell. Speak these words as the land below bellows forewarning... Shall you fall upon your knees?"

"In Blood and In Earth" is lifted from Verbolgen, which will be released on August 7th, 2026 through 20 Buck Spin and Season of Mist. Recorded between Elektric City Recording in Portland, Oregon and at various locations by the band, themselves, the album was mixed by Ahti Kortelainen at Tico Tico Studios in Kemi, Finland and mastered by Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki. It marks Hulder's third full-length and the first to formally welcome Necreon as co-leader of the project: a status the duo's creative process has long reflected in practice.
