Hollow Moon: Precursor is the first release in a trilogy of EPs that will collectively comprise the band’s first full-length album, Hollow Moon. Hollow Moon: Precursor is an evolution of Hellir’s atmosphere venturing into a broader range of sounds. With everything from extremely heavy break downs, electronic breaks, classical piano, and fusion, there’s a lot of new territory to explore. Or to boldly go where no one has gone before……
Hollow Moon: Precursor will be released on August 22!
The official video for the EP’s first single, “Firespray,” is available at: youtu.be/DpYIH0d_owY
In describing “Firespray” for Invisible Oranges’ video premiere this past May, Rhys Williams writes: “The song itself bobs back and forth from black metal into straight-up death-doom, and comes in strong and heavy with it, knocking the unprepared viewer off-guard with the contrast to the wholesomely whimsical visuals.”

BIO:
Hellir was founded in 2023 as a solo project by Daniel Shaneyfelt as a way to experiment with ideas that didn’t suit other projects. He released the first Hellir record Wheel of Ghosts in 2024, which blends elements of black metal, 80s synth pop, vapor wave, thall, and cinematic music.
Soon after recording Wheel of Ghosts, Hellir welcomed Dylan Webb on drums, helping push the duo’s sound into heavier and more
technical territory.
Hellir translates to “Cave” in the Old Norse language.
