Black Milk Sour Soil

My Gods Destroy is the first single from the upcoming double LP Control Your Soul's Desire For Freedom, out October 3rd through Empty Tape & Virkelighedsfjern.

The track is built on a syncopated groove that, over the course of 11 minutes, lays the foundation for a screamed mantra. A multitude of instruments—from overdriven kalimba to wailing saxophones—signals a stylistic shift in HEATHE’s genre-fluid universe: from the monolithic darkness of earlier works to a sound now equally inspired by live-played techno, soaring gospel, nu-metal, and free jazz.



My father, my sons, my mother, my gods destroy
Sex, pain, lies, love above
Fire and air, water and dirt my love
Greed, hate, need, faith destroy
Destroy

My father, my sons, my mother, my gods destroy

My Gods Destroy

Join the celebration at the edge of the abyss, as HEATHE opens the gates to their pitch-black universe – where handcrafted club rhythms and nu-metal collide with soaring gospel and free jazz.

Based on dissonance and endless repetition, the group conjures up massive and overwhelming sonic walls of reverb-heavy and metallic-sounding noise collages, where desperation, high-frequency ecstasy, and aggressive bursts of energy echo through an infinite darkness.
On stage, the group unfolds as a six-member orchestra, where strings, brass, guitars, electronic percussion, and homemade percussion paint trance-inducing, massive, and breathtaking soundscapes where eternity and the present melt together in an exhausting and almost ceremonial experience.

Since 2016, the Aalborg-rooted band has left audiences in ecstatic awe with overwhelming live performances and sonically elusive releases. In 2025, they return with their second full-length album, Control Your Heart's Desire for Freedom (Empty Tape & Virkelighedsfjern), an unrelenting maelstrom of aggressive polyrhythms, cacophonous noise rock, and chanting mantras heralding the end of the world.

Control Your Heart's Desire for Freedom opens with a foreboding account of childhood fears of apocalypse – fears that, over the course of the album’s 65 minutes, evolve from abstract anxiety to vividly realized nightmares: collapsing ecosystems, civil war, and barrages of bombs unfolding before the listener in escalating intensity.

The songs traverse sonic terrains where depressive pop, live techno, pitch-black post-hardcore, and trance-like repetition intersect with chanted choirs, autotune, and desperate, half-strangled screams.

From the foreboding opener Black Milk Sour Soil, to My Gods Destroy’s syncopated groove and The Truth Hurts’ all-consuming depression, Uproar Taking Shape’s autotuned chorus and hip-hop swagger, the slow-burning climax of Valencia's Next, and finally the grief-stricken void of Black As Oil – Control Your Heart's Desire for Freedom is a descent into beautiful hopelessness.
