Hypnotic Dirge Records presents our collaboration with Foghazer for the release of their debut record
"He Left The Temple"
Foghazer is a project built on trip-hop rhythm, black-metal texture and lo-fi cinematic atmosphere, crafting a discordant and haunting atmosphere rooted in black metal aesthetic yet drawing from sounds far outside the genre's confines.
"The record began as an accident. Fragments of trip-hop, early-2000s vinyl scratching, and the Black Metal influences I grew up on colliding with the dark, operatic production of Temples of Boom and the haunted stillness of Portishead’s self-titled album. The result felt nostalgic but unfamiliar, like something remembered wrong."
The album captures what Foghazer calls low-visibility sound: slow beats, distorted memory and fog as both space and emotion.
