IRON BONEHEAD PRODUCTIONS is proud to present MISTCAVERN's highly anticipated debut mini-album, Into Twilight, on CD and 12" vinyl formats.
MISTCAVERN are a quartet hailing from Hungary, formed in 2019. Not long after forming, the band recorded their debut demo, Winds of Misery, which was initially self-released in super-limited quantities but then made widely available by IRON BONEHEAD at the dawn of 2020. Now, two years later, MISTCAVERN strike with their most assured work yet, making good on the plentiful promise displayed on Winds of Misery.
As it was in the beginning and as it is now, MISTCAVERN unabashedly pick up the torch left behind by the second-wave Nordic acts with their works of pure and otherworldly atmospheres in the first half of the 1990s. In many ways, the resultant Into Twilight is 26 minutes of veritable time-warp: one can verily be transported to dark medieval times, at the dawn of a dying sun, feeling an ærie descent. And for those still dealing with the loss & curse of reverence, whether there at the start of those long-flickering fires or later generations who hear the call down time immemorial, MISTCAVERN will surely satisfy all dark desires. But taken another way, Into Twilight reveals its own ancient imagination. Far from mere "retro" replication or insincere genre exercise before jettisoning for some other fickle fancy, this four-piece deeply understand the richly mystical vibrations beneath those hallowed tomes of yore, building on the duality of both concealed and boundless imagery, showcasing scenes buried in thick fog, far from the ordure of man and deep in nature's embrace while also glorifying of the infinite emptiness and the longing for the End of All.
And paradoxically, with Into Twilight will one find a new beginning. Roam the new hinterlands of old with MISTCAVERN, and raise the torches high!

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal

Masterful use of acoustic passages and synth stuff. This is definitely my favorite black metal-dungeon synth kinda album I've found recently. Each track flows into the next so well, I cannot recommend it enough. Perri

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
