A Short Q&A with Urzirkel  

Abhartach Records: "How did Urzirkel’s concept of a forgotten messianic cult first emerge?"

Urzirkel: "The idea grew from our fascination with Eastern European poets such as Juliusz Słowacki, whose *Król-Duch* (*The Spirit King*) follows an eternal spirit reincarnated through different historical rulers and figures. Drawing upon spiritual traditions and fragments of mythology surviving outside established history, we imagined a hidden cult whose beliefs echo through forgotten languages, dreams and sacred landscapes rather than written doctrine."

Abhartach Records: "How does *In Silbernen Sprachen* explore the relationship between heaven and earth across its four tracks?"

Urzirkel: "The EP follows a symbolic path between the earthly and the divine. Neither realm stands above the other; instead, they continuously reflect and transform one another. Each track represents a different reflection of this ongoing dialogue."

Abhartach Records: "What do you hope listeners experience through the EP, and what lies ahead for Urzirkel following the vinyl and CD release?"

Urzirkel: "We hope the music becomes a gateway through which listeners can enter their own inner visions and contemplations. We are currently writing material for Urzirkel’s debut full-length album"

TONIGHT ON GOTHVILLE RADIO

Tonight’s edition of Exhumation of the Trve Kvlt draws from the growing Abhartach Records Bandcamp collection, showcasing three underground bands whose music deserves to be heard:

@Urzirkel • @HKSPK • @Amok

Rather than merely sharing a few links, I wanted to support these artists directly. I purchased their featured releases through Bandcamp, spent time listening to their music and selected material from all three bands for tonight’s international broadcast on GothVille Radio.

⚔ URZIRKEL — NORTHERN GERMANY

Urzirkel is a three-piece black metal band serving as the vessel of a forgotten messianic movement, invoking sacred authority, prophetic revelation and primordial forces concealed beneath the world.

Tonight’s show opens with “Himmlischer Funke” from their forthcoming debut EP, In Silbernen Sprachen. The digital release arrives on 26 August 2026, followed by vinyl and CD editions through Vendetta Records on 9 October.

⚔ HKSPK — BRANDENBURG, GERMANY

HKSPK combines the cold atmosphere of black metal with death-metal aggression, harsh vocals and an uncompromising live energy. Their newer material moves into an increasingly dark, personal and atmospheric direction.

Tonight’s program features “Torture,” “rot in despair,” “Holy Scum” and selections from Zur letzten Rauhnacht.

⚔ AMOK — SCOTLAND

Amok delivers uncompromising Scottish thrash metal for listeners of early Metallica, Anthrax and Testament. Tonight’s broadcast features selections from their second album, Somewhere in the West, while the band prepares its forthcoming six-track album, Assault Into Hell.

All three bands have been personally heard, selected and supported by Abhartach Records—not through bots, fake streams or empty promises, but through direct purchases, genuine promotion and international underground radio exposure.

Underground Band Shoutout: boardwalkmuscle - “Firstdate” 

Abhartach Records’ latest underground shoutout spotlights boardwalkmuscle, an emerging metal/punk artist bringing a raw and highly individual sound to the independent scene. Their track “Firstdate” combines fast punk-driven energy with a DIY production style and experimental spoken-word vocal textures. The result is a release that feels direct, personal, and unfiltered, sitting somewhere between punk, easycore, and metal-adjacent underground music. Rather than following a predictable formula, boardwalkmuscle leans into personality, energy, and a distinctive vocal approach. 

“Firstdate” is a track for listeners who enjoy independent artists pushing genre boundaries and creating something outside the mainstream. Listen to “Firstdate” by boardwalkmuscle here:
