Tabula Rasa
After many seasons since the original EP, the time is right to return to Trismegistus Hex. With a change of focus and line-up from the initial scope, the project will now encompass musical meanderings and experiments beyond the expectations of Ritual Ambience. Yet no less magickal of intent. The old concepts have been cast aside,

Triumph in Turku
The midpoint of the recent Solstice Finland tour, the entirety of the Turku set was captured for posterity by YouTube user Tyggerghast. Playing to a packed out Nirvana club on the 21st of September, the Saturday crowd was treated to quite possibly one of our best shows yet. Although I feel I could have personally

Väinämöinen’s Song
There are no coincidences when one seeks synchronicity; and it seemed appropriate that Solstice’s Finland jaunt would manifest around the Autumn Equinox. Coming at the end of a tremendously successful Summer, our mini-tour with Cardinals Folly closed the season with a long weekend of cathartic mayhem. It was the first time in Finland for both

Seitsemän päivää Suomeen
Only one week remains until Solstice play three long-awaited shows in Finland, with support from pagan sons Cardinals Folly. Tickets have been selling fast across the tour, with venues already close to capacity and likely to sell out. Book in advance to avoid disappointment. For these dates we present an exclusive Finnish tourdate shirt in

Cave of Wonder
With just over a week before Solstice fly out to Finland, and life outside the band likewise refusing to slow down; I take brief pause to reflect on a wonderful weekend in and around Balver Höhle. Prophecy Fest has always been a unique affair. Expertly curating an eclectic line-up of bands beyond the usual expectations

Trialed by Fire
It’s taken a few days to wind down and recover from the madness that was the Deströyer 666 mini-tour. A collaboration between promoters in Scotland and England, and one which came under fire from the first announcement. With both the headliners and Solstice running afoul of cancellation attempts and weaponised grudges, it wasn’t long before

Kings Must Die
Attendees to the Compulsive Necrophilia UK tour were treated to an utterly electrifying performance by Pantheïst. Although I could only capture a fragment of final epic opus “Kings Must Die”, these eight and a half minutes reflect the captivating energy of their Progressive Funeral Doom.

Tears of the Mountain
I was not alone for Midsummer. It had been a hard year for many. Some had lost those dear, and others still had lost part of themselves. The abrasion of existence scratching away at the best of us, compelling cruelty and distrust through uncertain times. A common burden, one often and needlessly borne alone. Thoughts

The Right Time has Come
Had anyone asked at the start of the year if I would find myself sharing a stage with the legendary Arthur Brown, let alone sharing a record label, then I would have laughed heartily at such a suggestion. But it’s been a very strange year for SOLSTICE, one with too little laughter for my liking.

Never Surrender!
Announcing a short run of UK shows for SOLSTICE this July. Heading out on the road with Australian anarchists DESTRÖYER 666 and London Black Metal heretics NECRO RITUAL, this line-up will lay waste to Glasgow and London on the 18th and 20th July. We headline an additional date in Stockport on the 19th with local

Nymåne Fødelsdag
Wishing the very best of Birthdays to Valr Kjósa. Shadowmother, Stormcrow, and shaker of all things acoustic in Trismegistus Hex. As her special day falls upon the New Moon this year, we are reminded that Gemini season is definitely upon us. Reinforcing the themes of duality present in our work. Ever creative, Valr has recently

Cult Italian Horror Metal!
A short video to promote the upcoming ‘Compulsive Necrophilia‘ tour, exhuming Italian Funeral Cultists ABYSMAL GRIEF into the UK this July. Main support for this leg will be from PANTHEÏST, with local Doom acts opening each bill. Together they’ll take in Bristol, Manchester and Brighton before the headliners return to Europe and onwards to Metal
