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 Soul'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.

“What Heathe has done here is remarkable. Their ability to convey this superb quality of bleak, beautiful, uncomfortable, and captivating tracks over the space of 1 hour and 5 minutes is impressive (...) Control Your Heart’s Desire for Freedom is a descent into beautiful hopelessness. I love it and highly recommend you check it out.” ★★★★★ — metalepidemic.com

"The result is decidedly unheard-of, a rare feat in today’s oversaturated music world. And yet, the unexpected becomes the norm here—each sound or noise keeps the listener on edge, anticipating the next hit. (Machine translated)" — backinrock.it

"A tour de force of progressive/industrial/post-whatever music. It’s the type of record that I haven’t come across in many years (...) An essential listen for anyone who wants something uncommon and atypical. Control Your Soul’s Desire for Freedom offers a captivating musical experience to savour and explore at length." — wonderboxmetal.com

“Simply huge - a gargantuan six track LP stretching over an hour - intense in approach, apocalyptic in mood, and pulling liberally from genres as far afield as doom metal, post-rock, jazz, ambient, and techno. (…) Control Your Soul’s Desire For Freedom is dark and most definitely very weird, but ultimately quite satisfying as a creative venture unafraid to go (far) beyond the conventional path.” ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ — gatekeepmusic.com

На третьем треке сдался. Альбом звучит как перезатянутый Doodseskader. На любителя.
