ERSHETU was formed in 2021 by conceptualist/lyricist Void and composer Sacr to create cinematic music which merges epic, obscure and atmospheric Metal with the poignant dramaticism of film scores.

Evocative debut album "Xibalba" - which focuses upon Mayan folklore - revolves around an impeccable orchestral core swathed in folk instrumentation, from which the unmistakeable impassioned singing and entranced chanting of Lars Are Nedland (BORKNAGAR, SOLEFALD) soars skyward before cascading down into an arid undertow of textural Black Metal guitars performed by Vindsval (BLUT AUS NORD).

We are very proud to bring you the latest release from two of the most interesting, intriguing, and all-round excellent artists current operating within the black metal sphere today. A single track each from the twin enigmas; Celestial Sword, with his chilling vocals, piercing though the clouds of distortion to summon body-rocking crescendos from the cosmic static (with drums courtesy of Palisade); and Trhä, with a slower, more insidiously atmospheric piece of spirit-shaking, spine-tingling darkness, cut with resonant shards of radiant melancholy.
