The Circle of the Elect to release the Album: Kaoskarma!

The Circle of the Elect - is a new project from Kharkiv, Ukraine, formed by musicians from well-known Kharkiv Black Metal bands, though they are keeping their identities undisclosed for now. The band is preparing to release its debut full-length album in late May.

The album was written and recorded in Ukraine. It moves between atmospheric passages and more direct, aggressive material, with a sound shaped as much by the environment around it as by the writing process itself.

The band describes the debut as something that moves between destruction and renewal, both in sound and atmosphere.

There’s a clear tension running through the record - not as a concept statement, but as something that sits in the pacing and structure of the songs.

Lyrically, it touches on isolation, conflict, and internal strain, without trying to frame those ideas in a single narrative.

More details about the release will follow soon, including physical formats.
