Cover shot – Úlfúð
Icelandic blackened death metal band Úlfúð has launched a video for the song “Leviathan Dreams,” the second single off their full-length debut, Of Existential Distortion.
Vocalist Breki Danielsen Imsland comments on the track, “‘Leviathan Dreams’ is the closing track on the album, a harrowing journey through disjointed visions of a nightmarish soundscape, ending the auditory sojourn on a dark note.”
Bred in the land of ice and fire, Úlfúð are the latest addition to Dark Descent’s flawless, ever-diversifying roster. Championing their personal blend of black and death metal (with emphasis on the former), the band’s debut album Of Existential Distortion uniquely captures the desolate vastness of the volcanic wastelands like only Icelanders can.
Úlfúð’s first full-length is a masterclass in songcraft, showcasing a stunning balance of entrancing atmosphere, haunting melody, and deathless violence. Artist Bahrull Marta was summoned to conjure the breathtaking artwork, whilst photographs by Alma Líf Þorsteinsdóttir adorn the inlay with visions of each offering.

2. Tears of Terra
3. Mockery Theatre
