HASUFEL 'Shroud' cassette

El Tule ‎– 004

“Shroud” is the latest missive by the ominous dungeon-industrial project Hasufel, and serves as an effective encapsulation of the bleakness and desolation they’ve cultivated over their prodigious discography.

A disorienting, throbbing synthesizer pulse backs primary songwriter Helmut’s delay-soaked incantations; textural sampled elements imbue these three meditations with a startlingly atmospheric structure.

Hasufel marries the cryptic, occult rawness of the blacker side of dungeon synth with fear-inducing dark ambience and a Galakthorrö-like minimal industrial rhythmic sense.

The effect is chilling, as these sounds are harnessed in nightmarish expressions of pain, loss, and helplessness. Hasufel’s Shroud is a plunge into darkness that is well-worth the delve.

Written and recorded in the throes of manic darkness. 2018, 2020.
