Sweden's one-man black metal act Häxkapell has revealed the second single, "Metamorfos" (Metamorphosis) from the upcoming album, Om jordans blod och urgravens grepp, which is due for release on 17 January 2025 via Nordvis Produktion.
Häxkapell comments: "A metamorphosis, a transformation. To die. The grandeur of the liminal. Coldness. Life turns towards the icy chill of death. Flesh and blood become stone and soil. The frantic pace and shifting time signatures accentuate the wild and rabid struggle within death's jaws. The sword of the endtimes burrows deeper into the chest, and blood flows across the altar. Death is here; the acceptance of the irreversible sets in. Cosmos opens its gates, and in stepping into the void, one catches a glimpse of eternity's truth. The epic midsection, with its proud proclamation into the void, rolling waves of harmonic insight, and euphoric guitar solo, symbolises the realisation of one's immortality; by embracing death's darkness, the hidden words are freed once more. But the price must be paid. The time has come. Life is over. I am a slave to death. Into the shadows. Down into the darkness. Die."

"We're really into oxymorons and that sort of thing. Years and years ago, we came up with this idea—well, we didn't invent it, but we called it "happy sad"." - Matt James
"It's a dark album. According to me, it's the darkest yet in our discography. It's also very suggestive, very introverted, less direct, and might be less friendly..." - Daniel Moilanen
