HETROERTZEN is a Black Metal band formed in 1997 by Frater D. The group originated in Puerto Varas, Chile and by 2009 had relocated to Västerås, Sweden.
It was initially a solo project until Frater D. decided to make a band of it and so joins guitarist Åskväder the band in September 1999. During their first ten years of existence, a couple of albums were recorded and a handful of gigs were performed in their homeland of Chile. Various line-up changes occurred
The band had a brief hiatus for various reasons, but in 2009 after resurfacing in Sweden and the city of Västerås, HETROERTZEN released their first proclaimed full length album ‘Exaltation of Wisdom’ in 2010.
Released in Dec 2014, ‘Ain Soph Aur’ is an ambitious release, pushing the barriers further and reaching a unique outcome. The band has undoubtedly honed their art and sounds more disciplined and focused. The theatrical vocals appear more haunting than ever, increasing the devilish mood that permeates through the record. This unique album has generated a lot of admiration in their music scene.
HETROZERTZEN toured the US for the first time in 2015, transferring their diabolical creation onto the stage as METAL ARCHIVES illustrated :
"HETROERTZEN 's live exploits are a combination of theatre and musicianship, featuring costume changes and Black Mass activities in between song performances. Amidst a stage adorned with occult practise paraphernalia, this is a band in tune with black metal's indebtedness to spectacle and symbolism. "
HETROERTZEN are working on a new album for an early 2017 release on LISTENABLE
Catch them live at INFERNO fest in Oslo on Wednesday the 23rd of March !
