HEIDNIR "DER KOSMISCHE TANZ"
ENTRE LO TERRENAL Y GALACTICO A TRAVES DEL BLACK METAL
Regreso del brillante proyecto one man band del austriaco Andreas Krempler, multiinstrumentista y cerebro de Heidnir. Conocido también por ser el baterista de la banda de Black Metal Synkende, lo cual explica la precisión rítmica que posee. He tenido el lujo de poder charlar en ocasiones con este magnifico compositor que quiere permanecer en el underground.
MAS ALLÁ DEL COSMOS
VIAJE HIPNOTICO Y BAILE CÓSMICO
La genialidad de Heidnir reside en su capacidad de equilibrio recordándonos que el firmamento no son sólo hay estrellas y silencio, sino que hay una fuerza demoniaca destructiva. Somos parte de esa coreografía violenta elegante y existencial "Sohn Des Feuers" o los hijos del fuego. Todo se reduce a cenizas. El tema mas épico y melódico sin perder esa crudeza del proyecto del austriaco. Sientes la influencia del Pagan Black Metal y la conexión con el vacío.
El jinete de las estrellas "Sternenreiter" cabalga bajo una soledad absoluta donde el espíritu se fusiona con las estrellas. Majestuoso tema gélido, melódico, frío donde el protagonista acepta que es polvo de estrellas y decide vender su humanidad para convertirse en pura energía.
LA ALQUIMIA
El manto que envuelve la oscuridad apaga el fuego, hay silencio, profundidad y la hija de la noche "Tochter Der Nacht" regresa con sonidos atmosfericos, lentos, pesados acariciando los teclados creando una neblina sonora envolvente, el vacio permanece en esta clausura.
¿Y vosotros con que elemento os quedais en este ritual?
🌌 Aire: "Der Kosmische Tanz" (el vacío)
👹 Caos: "Tausend Teufel" (la rabia)
🔥 Fuego: "Sohn Des Feuers" (épica purificadora)
🌚 La Noche: "Tochter Der Nacht" (el silencio)
Al final de la danza, solo queda la Hija de la Noche, Y tras ella.. El silencio.

VERSION IN ENGLISH
HEIDNIR "DER KOSMISCHE TANZ"
BETWEEN THE TERRESTRIAL AND THE GALACTIC THROUGH BLACK METAL
Return of the brilliant one-man band project by Austrian Andreas Krempler, multi-instrumentalist and mastermind behind Heidnir. Also known for being the drummer of the Black Metal band Synkende, which explains his rhythmic precision. I’ve had the luxury of chatting on occasion with this magnificent composer who wishes to remain in the underground.
Krempler released his debut album "Von Nächtlichen Erinnerungen" in 2018 with a raw and direct sound that made you travel through Austrian forests in the middle of winter. An album full of melancholy and guttural vocals, leaning closer to Death and Doom metal in some passages, influenced by Black’n’Roll and with catchy tracks. A self-produced album and a “hidden gem,” comparable to the early works of bands like Immortal but with a more introspective and nihilistic touch.
BEYOND THE COSMOS
In 2022 he released "Jenseits Des Kosmos," and I labeled my discovery as “stellar.” Heidnir left behind the forest and nocturnal themes to venture into the vastness of the universe, mysticism, and the stars. Hypnotic rhythms and the use of synthesizers with long tracks like "Fremde Kosmen" and "Zu Den Sternen," both over 7 minutes long, led the listener toward an almost celestial beauty—a spatial atmosphere, almost trance-like, with the aggression of Black Metal catching the attention of larger labels and expanding like nebulae.
HYPNOTIC JOURNEY AND COSMIC DANCE
This third album is the natural evolution of his previous works, maintaining that epic rawness but with a much more polished production, "Der Kosmische Tanz." It explores melancholy as a portal into the abyss. A representation of a “cosmic dance” where life is consumed and only the bones of eternity remain.
The voice sounds like a tearing, distant echo at the start of this journey in the opening track "Dunkle Schwingen," with magnificent atmospheric and hypnotic Black Metal in that transition into the abyss, opening a portal. From here, the true invocation begins with the self-titled "Der Kosmische Tanz." A rollercoaster of cold emotions, human insignificance in the cycle of death and chaotic stellar rebirth.
THE COSMOS, FIRE, DEMONS, AND SILENCE
Organic and ritualistic, caressing stardust in a clean and brilliant production where the beast emerges, embracing the most earthly and demonic ferocity, Heidnir reminds us that this journey is still Black Metal. The “chaos of a thousand demons” in the track "Tausend Teufel." Layered voices and screams in the most visceral part of the album, with a raw production influenced by folk and neoclassical music, unleashes “the diabolical pact,” a surrender to the immensity of the void in the track "Der Teuflische Pakt." Isn’t the human being insignificant before the beauty and dance of the stars?
Heidnir’s genius lies in his balance, reminding us that the firmament is not only stars and silence, but also a destructive demonic force. We are part of that elegant, violent, and existential choreography—"Sohn Des Feuers" or the sons of fire. Everything is reduced to ashes. The most epic and melodic track without losing the rawness of the Austrian’s project. You feel the influence of Pagan Black Metal and the connection with the void.
The rider of the stars, "Sternenreiter," rides under absolute solitude where the spirit merges with the stars. A majestic, icy, melodic, cold track where the protagonist accepts he is stardust and decides to sell his humanity to become pure energy.
ALCHEMY
The mantle that envelops darkness extinguishes the fire; there is silence, depth, and the daughter of the night "Tochter Der Nacht" returns with atmospheric, slow, heavy sounds, caressing the keyboards, creating an enveloping sonic fog—the void remains in this closure.
And you, which element do you choose in this ritual?
🌌 Air: "Der Kosmische Tanz" (the void)
👹 Chaos: "Tausend Teufel" (rage)
🔥 Fire: "Sohn Des Feuers" (purifying epic)
🌚 The Night: "Tochter Der Nacht" (silence)
At the end of the dance, only the Daughter of the Night remains, and after her… Silence.
