Whoa.  This is going to be a serious contender for AOTY for me, based off of this one song!

Their description:
Haunting, eerie and dark, like northern lights over the Iceland sea where the Hafgúa [ɦɑf-ɡy-wä] dwells.
A sea monster known as the Leviathan from the accounts of Job and Jonah.
After which this 5 piece band is named heavy atmospheric doom-hymns with an overarching aquatic theme.
A drowning fisherman, the sea unwilling to release her dead, the ultimate redemption through the one called Son of Man.

Lyrics to the first song released:
Slipping beneath the surface, into cold eternity,
beyond the realm of comprehension out of fathoms reach.
Man’s calamitous rebellion, begets false autonomy,
sinks into decay

Rend your heart.
Repent therefore,
Rend your heart.
and turn again,
Rend your heart.
again, repent, for heavens kingdom is at hand.

Drifting on times oceans, majestic in serenity,
beyond mortal opinion, sovereign over thee.
Lost in our transgressions, hominum salvator,
He will make the way

Rend your heart.
Repent therefore,
Rend your heart.
and turn again,
Rend your heart.
again, repent, for heavens kingdom is at hand.

The apple’s wrath is broken.

Restoration.

Below the surface never drowning,
His hand stretched out to those who seek Him.
Behold the Lord God in His glory,
singing holy.

He the one Lamb that is worthy,
all creation sighs in restoration.
Behold the Lord God in His glory,
singing holy, holy.

Very awesome! Doom Death Metal is my favorite style, so little of it comes out with a the faith perspective. This is up there with a strong production, atmosphere, vocals, and heavy crushing tone. Looking forward to hearing more!

Definitely interested in this. I did my dissertation in Job, including looking at Leviathan,  and I dig me some doom/death.

And what a cool cover.

Sounds good! Reminds me of Crowned in Sorrow. Hopefully one day, both bands will get the recognition they deserve (Century Media, Prophecy, Peaceville...)

HI Guys ! Carl from Hafgúa here, i thought i’d drop in and say hi, thanks for all the positive reactions!  i see our bio/BC might have sown some confusion, the seamonster is from iceland, the band is not, we’re from the Netherlands

I was very generously given a copy of the vinyl (thank you Hafgúa!!!).  If anyone's considering picking up the vinyl, I highly recommend snagging one while they're still available!  The packaging is very professionally done and quite lovely - complete with lyrics, notes, photos, etc.  The epic cover looks amazing at that size too, and the green vinyl itself is really cool.  I ended up framing it in my home office (sorry for the glare in the photos).   Cool

Lol I'm not dissapointed. If anything I just reminds me how many assumptions on appearances I make based on pfp's which obv isn't true... because I look nothing like a badly photoshopped image of hell lol
