The digi-CD is €2.99 and the vinyl is €4.99 over here. It's a steal.

Wow, they're definitely losing money here, I wonder why such a low price?

Not sure, but there are a lot of CDs and vinyls for that price on Hammerheart's website.

Such a coincidence that I listen to this for the first time after it randomly comes on my Spotify, and then you Staff Pick it a day later! I wouldn’t have even recognized it if it wasn’t so fresh in mind! Either way it’s a really good album, good pick

It actually came randomly on my Spotify, too; that's how I found it. I had no prior knowledge of this band, but I have been playing this non-stop, since I discovered it. I find it to be a blend of Schammasch and Emptiness with lead melodies to die for.

Can't help it - the black and white in the band name and album cover, plus the circle motif, plus the dark deep (chocolatey?) vocals and string-of-pearls shimmering quality of the melodies somehow made me think of Oreo cookies and now I can't get rid of this association.
The guitar tones are beautiful and beneath the guitar there seems to be something else which sounds like a pre-piano keyboard instrument although it probably isn't.

Sorry. I think I just wanted to pass it on.
….
And one more thought: the vocals, the guitars and the drums seem to me less blended ( blending?) together than in some other music, and instead more in layers….
