De vijfde band die wij aankondigen op deze duistere avond.
- The Chösen -
Twenty years after its inception, The Chösen rises once more with renewed purpose and
unbroken will. Rooted in the traditions of black and thrash metal’s most uncompromising era,
the band rejects polish and pretense in favor of raw intensity, ritualistic aggression, and
unwavering conviction.
Their forthcoming work, At the Behest of Dreadful Lords, is not merely an album — it is an
invocation. A descent into fire, strife, and remembrance. Each track serves as a hymn to
forgotten grandeur, honoring those who stood as free men and were remembered as gods.
The Chösen does not present individuals, but manifestations of will:
• He Who Abandons — bass, vocals, lyrics
• The One Who Is Many — guitar, vocals
• He Who Blots Out The Sun — drums
Together, they form a singular force — bound not by identity, but by purpose.
This is not nostalgia. This is continuation.
This is not performance. This is rite.
