Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

It’s a very special day for NECHT, the avowed followers of the B’ahn cult that originated in the prehistoric Enkari culture. And in many respects, as on this day, the idiosyncratic outsiders will join the many North Americans and their astrologically interested visitors in keeping their eyes fixed to the sky, beholding a partial to total solar eclipse.

For Zenith Maharg (prayers) and his Ascendants Vlasfimos (prayer drums), Zhargor (high frequencies) and Aemoh (low frequencies), it is a day of highest ambivalence, on which, according to ancient belief, the dragon Karnifor, bringer of the apocalypse, takes away the furious presence of their sun god B’ahn. Those born into the eternal warrior caste throw themselves against this spell with a befitting anthem – Into Bondage Born: “BRETHREN! Today is a total solar eclipse. To the ancient Enkari, this would have been a divine portent of the coming Apocalypse, as the shadow of Karnifor appeared to overcome the wrath of B’ahn’s light. A day to despair, or a day to rejoice. Today is therefore an auspicious day to release this Sermon, in which we recall the generations of Lashmiri citizens who were born into a lifetime of constant warfare in service of the Cult of B’ahn. GLORY TO THE SUN!”

Into Bondage Born from the long meditation The Prophecy of Karnifor (which will be released on May 17th, 2024) is now available in digital form throughout many audio-sacrificial platforms. The sermon comes across just as ambivalent as the cosmic event to which NECHT have dedicated it, humming out of that eerie grey area between black metal solemnity and the deep-seated melancholy that a normalized war has burned into the cultural soul of the Enkari.

A prologue to Into Bondage Born and the public ritual of this sermon can be observed here only by the bravest of inquisitive prehistorians:

The story of NECHT began in the pandemic year 2022 with a Canadian black metal trio that grew into a quartet as it progressed. Now, in 2024, Zenith Maharg and his Ascendants Vlasfimos, Zhargor and Aemoh step out of the shadows of the past to spread the word of their soon-to-be-released long meditation The Prophecy of Karnifor. The weird cultists themselves give us a little insight into what has secretly happened at the advent of the Temple of NECHT: “Zenith Maharg and Ascendant Vlasfimos are long-standing collaborators, already dead-set on starting a black metal project. In a second-hand bookshop in Calgary, Zenith Maharg then came across a copy of the obscure and controversial history Translating the Enkari-B’ahn Scrolls: Words from the People of the End Times, written by Dr. Birgitta Olsson, based on the discoveries that the German explorer and philosopher Dr. Karl von Mecklenburg made in the middle of the 19th century, and published in 2015.  As he read and learned more about the fascinating and largely unknown history of the Enkari, he became determined to establish the Temple that is NECHT to do homage to our most ancient ancestors. Since then, we have been performing public rituals with rapidly growing numbers of participants, in which – enlightened by our multifaceted sermons – more and more people have been joining the Cult of B’ahn, our sun god.”
One of the central themes in the history of the Enkari was the social division into two city-states, Lashmir and Ishpan, which were engaged in a perpetual war until the end of the records. B’ahn was the god of the city warriors of Lashmir, to whom NECHT also associate themselves. Now, for the first time, the descendants of the Lashmirs are performing selected sermons from the meditation The Prophecy of Karnifor, which will be made available in full on May 17th, 2024 – some of them as part of visual revelations, such as For Violence Was Wrought Upon Me and Into Bondage Born.

Meditation through repetition: Put Into Bondage Born on your alt prehistorical playlist now as an offering to B’ahn: https://linktr.ee/nechtblackmetal
