After many years as a sold-out collector’s item, Nechochwen's milestone album “Heart of Akamon” (2015) has been re-issued on vinyl.
The West Virginian duo seamlessly blends haunting melodies, intricate guitar work, and evocative storytelling to transport you to a world where history and legend intertwine. The thematic heart of Nechochwen's dirges lies in the stories of indigenous people, evoking a sense of persecution, struggle, and pride.
“Heart of Akamon” offers meticulously crafted metal in a masterful fusion with elements of dark folk and Americana – it captures the essence of the hunt, the intensity of battle, and the magic of tales told around a campfire. Fans of contemporary acts such as Saor, Agalloch, and Falls of Rauros are sure to appreciate Nechochwen’s unique Appalachian folk metal blend.
