Polish band ASGAARD releases new EP with experimental cover of BEHEMOTH. Stream “Lullabies for Harlots” now!

Polish band ASGAARD were formed in 1994. Within 30 years of existence on Polish metal scene, as a band, they have been on a musical journey starting with a symphonic mix of gothic and black metal, revealing a more progressive visage in 2022, up to the current acoustic prog rock combined with electronic music.

Always at the forefront of the avant-garde, often ahead of their musical peers, forward-thinking
and not afraid of pushing boundaries, ASGAARD needs no further introduction. Metamorphosis, constant evolution and stylistic unpredictability – amalgamation of these three phrases has become signature quality of Asgaard’s body of work.

Lullabies for Harlots” EP is the band’s newest offering and a follow-up to a critically acclaimed
7th full-length album “What if…”. Delving even deeper into the universe of dark electronic music
ASGAARD returns with what is to believed to be their most experimental work up to date. Two brand new tracks with an exceptional cover of Behemoth’s “Antichristian Phenomenon” topped with the previously unavailable on a physical format acoustic renditions of three songs taken from the “What if….” album. The band again taps Bartłomiej Trzos, a renowned and award-winning graphic designer, to create the EP’s cover artwork as well as its design and layout.

When it comes to the ‘Lullaby’, well… I guess this song purely defines what Asgaard is all about.
‘Unpredictability’ may be a good word down here. Besides, this is one of the most beautiful lullabies that you’ve ever heard in your entire life” – jokes Quazarre, the vocalist of the band.

New EP titled “Lullabies for Harlots” is released today – November 29, 2024, on physical format by Via Nocturna (pre-order) and digitally via WormHoleDeath Records/The Orchard/Sony Music Entertainment (pre-save). Band photo by Diana Sawicka.
