Uprising Finnish black metallers White Rune have unleashed the second track, "Death At Sundown", from their upcoming debut album, Dawn Of The White Rune, set for release on 19 August via Hammer Of Hate. "Death At Sundown" awaits you in the player below.
Although a brand-new entity, White Rune is a duo of Sielunvihollinen frontman Ruttokieli on vocals, guitar, bass, and keyboards and his drummer brother Soldau, also currently of Ehre. In 2021, they exploded into being with two shockingly accomplished demos, The Spell Of Winter Holocaust and The Eternal Fires Of Cleansing, showing a new face to Finnish black metal by, paradoxically, harkening back to old times.
And now that face is fully revealed with the full-length Dawn Of The White Rune. Indeed consolidating White Rune's considerable strengths, the band's aptly titled debut album bursts forth with an effervescence that's undeniable - and undeniably unique, within the wider sphere of Finnish black metal. With vampiric organ to the fore but thankfully eluding the mawkish excess of "vampiric black metal", White Rune proceeds to wind and wend through an ever-surging storm of mysticism and malevolence.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, Hammer Of Hate will also release a compilation titled The Spell Of Eternal Fire, bringing together both White Rune demos. Link
