TAPERED LIMBS OF A HUMAN STAR
HIVELORDS are an avant-garde, dark metal band from PHILADELPHIA. Their sound is thick with blackened layers of nightmarishly crafted guitar smoke and ritualistically crawling bass groove. Their vocals vehemently invoke consternation and awe, while the percussion seamlessly intertwines sophisticated phrasing and precise brutality. By combining serpentine melodies and tasteful song structures, they are defining a new iteration of dark metal. HIVELORDS manifest an alluring and intimidating darkness irrefutable by any listener. As Steel for Brains put it, “…a place as sinister as it is inviting.”

What people are saying about Hivelords:
“Hivelords have created something truly wonderful on Cavern Apothecary. The overall feel of the album brings a real sense of dread; something very evil is brewing in Philadelphia. The ability to know when to push the vocals or guitars forward lead to a frighteningly good sound, one steeped in sludge and doom and drone. They are able to press all the right buttons at the appropriate time to unleash something so very cathartic. Cavern Apothecary is downright menacing, wicked, and majestic.”

“Hivelords has emerged with one of the best debut albums of the year in Cavern Apothecary.”
-metalunderground.net
“…More impressive is the fact thatCavern Apothecaryis a debut. Where so many debuts find bands still reaching through the dark to find a sound that suits them best, Hivelords have seemingly grasped the unattainable and created a place as sinister as it is inviting.”
-steelforbrains.com
“A release like this from other bands without a back catalog would normally be classified as luck of the draw but with the solid foundation Hivelords had set for themselves, I don’t believe we are witnessing one-time excellence here. This is a necessary listen in my eyes for anyone proposing a best of list this year and if I were making my own list, I very much doubt this wouldn’t make an appearance.”
