Formed in 2025, Kriigerkvlt is a new collective that features Heilung founding member Kai Uwe Faust and members of the Heilung warrior choir. The collective debuted live on stage in Copenhagen alongside industrial doom raver John Cxnnor and the occult feminist black metal band Witch Club Satan with an exclusive premiere of their collaborative song “Hypothermia”.
Kriigerkvlt is not tied to a specific cultural identity, historical time period or genre. They explore a wide range of expressions: harsh gutturals, throat singing, drone, piano, harp, marimba, guitar and nyckelharpa. No matter what form they take, their focus remains rooted in intensity, atmosphere and the spirit of collaboration.
To commemorate their signing to Season of Mist, today, Kriigerkvlt are releasing their first official single. From its opening bells, “Mahakala” ventures deep into a realm of fire, only to emerge transformed after a confrontation with one’s shadow self.
“We are excited to announce our signing with Season of Mist”, Kriigerkvlt vocalist Kai Uwe Faust says. “We have seen firsthand how the label has supported Heilung’s artistic freedom. As a flexible collective that specializes in extreme vocal textures and unconventional soundscapes, we felt that was also important for Kriigerkvlt”.
“In an age where sacred symbols are often commercialized or stripped of context, Kriigerkvlt stands apart”, Faust continues. “‘Mahakala’ is not a spectacle. It is a call to confront the hidden forces within us all, not through blind violence, but through awareness, discipline and transformation”.
