DÄAHL's debut album, Descend, will arrive through Amor Fati Productions on November 24 in CD and vinyl LP formats. Announced as a continuation of LHAÄD, the black metal project moves from its predecessor's underwater imagery toward a concept built around fire and the underworld. The announcement also introduces the new track “Descend II,” shared through Amor Fati's official YouTube channel.
The connection between the two names is central to the release. LHAÄD completed a three-album run for Amor Fati, with Beyond closing that underwater trilogy. The label presents Descend as the next passage in that narrative: a fissure beneath the ocean floor leading into a different realm, rather than another stage of submersion.
“The protagonist in reverse. Water becomes fire,” reads the announcement. Black metal remains the foundation of DÄAHL's music; the accompanying description frames its violence as directed both inward and outward. That distinction is part of the label's introduction to the project, rather than a departure from the genre.
Both artist names are described as anagrams of “hadal,” referring to the ocean's deepest regions. The announcement connects that word to Hades and uses the relationship to explain the transition between the projects. Where LHAÄD's imagery concerned pressure, darkness and water, DÄAHL's debut takes the descent into flame: “not to drowning, but to ignition.”
Amor Fati has also supplied the album cover and a four-part running order. As printed in the announcement, the tracks are “Beyond I” (11:16), “Beyond II” (7:55), “Beyond III” (8:55) and “Beyond IV” (10:23). Those titles differ from the separately announced “Descend II”; the supplied information does not clarify that discrepancy or establish the new track's position on the album.
The announced international release date is November 24; no release year is specified in the source.
