Burning Saviours doom-monger spreads his wings into the northern darkness with his project Heathen Rites. Heaving earthy doom, inspired by nordic folklore and ancient landscapes, 'Heritage' is an epic and melodic hymn to northern nature and history. Formed in Sweden in 2018 by Mikael Monks, Heathen Rites create A-level, brooding, lingering, godless doom perfection, that swells from ornamental euphony to rousing, up-tempo doom rock with a Scandinavian flair. Droning passages and punishing sermons to please fans of Candlemass and Pentagram but with a decidedly modern nordic folk-horror flavour. Comes on yellow vinyl, limited to 500 copies.
