Këkht Aräkh will soon return with album number three, Morning Star, out on March 27 on Sacred Bones.
Rooted in black metal, the project adds layered soundscapes and moods, as in lead single "Three winters away," shared below.
"This song was written by me in 2024, while I was writing drafts that would eventually become the new album. I recorded all of the instruments myself except for the drums, which were recorded by my friend Jonathan (of Spira Me, Vanskapth, Olycka) in spring 2025, along with his drumming for all the other songs on the new album," the artists states in a press release. "The song’s lyrics show me reflecting on changes in my life since 2021, when my previous album Pale Swordsman was released, as well as reflecting on the passage of time and the changes it brings. That said, the meaning still stays very much open. 'Three winters away from my old life I look back and I smile.'"
