a new journey with my old friend Vlad "The Impaler" 

Einklang pres. Vlad "The Impaler" (Aug 2023)

Today, we’re excited to premiere "Along The Line," a brooding, atmospheric gem from the Deliverance EP. Immerse yourself in Hørd’s shadowy soundscapes and let the music speak for itself.

As Persephonic Sirens, the label helmed by Ancient Methods, marks its 10th anniversary, French minimal-synth/darkwave maestro Hørd’s coveted Focus On Light LP returns in a faithfully re-mastered edition by Alain Paul. This timeless album stands as a testament to the hymn-like melancholy that defines Hørd’s signature sound.

In tandem with this re-release comes the Deliverance EP, which features an electrifying Ancient Methods remix of the title track and three previously unheard tracks from the Focus On Light era: "Along The Line," "Zoo," and "Promises."

Adorned with the striking artwork of Elzo Durt, both releases will be available on vinyl and digital formats on 6 December 2024.

We’re pleased to premiere “Vers La Gloire Ou Le Linceul”, taken from Weever’s forthcoming EP L’Âge de la Galère, out November 17 on Persephonic Sirens, the label run by Ancient Methods.
