The mystical folk duo Tabernis return to the shadowed past with “Apes Saltis”, the third single taken from their forthcoming debut album, Seasons Of The Dark Hive. Once again, the pair weave their signature blend of medieval instrumentation and arcane storytelling, crafting a piece that feels lifted from a forgotten ritual. With its intoxicating melodies and honey‑dark allure, “Apes Saltis” beckons listeners deeper into the ever‑growing Dark Hive. Seasons Of The Dark Hive arrives this Friday, 24 April, via Napalm Records.
Speaking about the new single, Tabernis reveal: “‘Apes Saltis’ is our album closer. It is festive, and the lyrics talk about the Collectio season: the harvest before winter. We prepare before the rest. The harvest is sealed. The Beekeepers fade away, but their song remains. Join the Dark Hive.”
Born from a profound fascination with history and ancient craft, Tabernis have shaped a sonic world where bagpipes, davul, and ritualistic rhythms breathe life into medieval memory. Their music intertwines folk tradition with a subtle, shadow‑touched mysticism, transforming the art of beekeeping into a symbolic thread running through their work.
Despite only releasing their debut EP, the duo have already stepped onto major festival stages, including Wacken and Summer Breeze Open Air, captivating audiences with their immersive performances. With Seasons Of The Dark Hive, Tabernis are poised to unveil even more of their enigmatic lore to a rapidly expanding following.

"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
