ABSOLUTE KEY & BRÅND – Absolute Key & Brånd, LP
late 2025. Combining distinct artistic identities, the album presents a uniquely distorted fusion of raw
Noise, rock-driven pulse, and an unmistakable Pagan atmosphere.
Rather than blending their styles into one uniform sound, the two projects collide and intertwine,
resulting in a work that feels unpredictable, abrasive, and strangely ritualistic. The collaboration stands apart from typical genre boundaries — rooted in harsh expression, yet alive with a primitive, instinctive
energy.
Mastered by Chris Fielding.
Available as Limited White Vinyl & Black Vinyl.
Out November 27th, 2025 via Into Endless Chaos Records. Absolute Key is an experimental project from Finland. Behind it stands a musician involved in numerous underground acts, including Circle of Ouroboros and several other long-running formations.
Absolute Key’s sound is rooted in Noise, avant-garde tendencies, and a boundary-pushing approach that continuously shifts between abstract expression and extreme music traditions.
Brånd from Austria is connected to a wide range of projects within the country’s vibrant underground,
including Kringa, Weathered Crest, Eisenhand, Spectres & Teeth.
Brånd’s distinct style draws from Black Metal, raw rock impulses, and an idiosyncratic melodic
sensibility — sometimes described as “Black Metal Pop” due to its unusual combination of harshness
and hook-driven energy. Together, these two artists merge their contrasting backgrounds into a collaboration that is both unconventional and surprisingly cohesive.
