The enigmatic transcontinental entity known as YHWH has emerged from the shadows to announce the third chapter of their sonic evolution. On October 30th, 2026, the band will release their highly anticipated new EP, “Baghavat”.
Following the trail of spiritual and sonic devastation left by their previous critically acclaimed releases, Tetragrammaton and Khatha, “Baghavat” represents a profound deepening of the YHWH sound. This third installment sees the Belgian/Thai collective transcending their origins to deliver a work that is darker, sharper, and more meticulously focused than anything in their prior discography.
To herald this new era, YHWH has unleashed the first single, “Chains of Slavery.” An oppressive and suffocating journey through dense atmospheres and relentless percussion, the track serves as a perfect gateway into the uncompromising world of “Baghavat.”
Formed in 2024, YHWH is a Belgian/Thai black metal band. All music is composed by Schem HaMephorash and her sister C. Bones, with S.M. Goat Ritual joining in June. Their first EP, Tetragrammaton, was released in April 2025 via Wormholedeath. The second chapter, Khatha, was released in 2025, and now it’s time for the third chapter: Baghavat
Following the release of their uncompromising split EP Rapture & Perversion, YHWH and HESSIAN have officially unveiled the lyric video for “Gravebound”.
“Gravebound” is an attack on the systems that have taught us to mistake obedience, consumption, and exploitation for freedom. In true YHWH fashion, few words hit harder than a thousand pages, with entire concepts compressed into a single term that says it all. There is no imagery and no unnecessary wordplay—just a manifesto that screams. Driven by YHWH’s unmistakable abrasive and aggressive sound, the track becomes an accusation against a society that reduces human existence to work, consumption, and profit, while selling its chains as freedomRapture and Perversion is a relentless journey through occult atmospheres, crushing riffs, and unfiltered aggression.
Hessian traces back to 2002, when Wade’s project was recorded under the name Madame Durant. It became Utuk Xul Commands Worship in 2004 and went inactive, then returned in 2014 playing hardcore street punk. By 2016, the project had shifted back into extreme metal, recording collaboratively under the Hessian name. Hessian signed to Wormholedeath and released a self-titled album in January 2025, with Brandon Floyd on vocals (now running the solo DSBM project Nyvrosk), Wade on guitar, and Noctem on drums.
Since the self-titled album, Wade has run Hessian with a rotating cast of guest musicians from release to release: Frostmorner, also signed to Wormholedeath, on the single “Goetic Altars of Obsidian”; Thoth, of Thoth Nemesis and Internment, on the EP “Sworn to the Kult”; Frostmorner, Thoth, Crotalos of Gomold, and Dromo’ together on the EP “Celebrants of the Lunar Blood”; and, on the split EP “Primitive Adorations” with Death Invoker, Wade himself on vocals alongside drummer Wrath of Nunslaughter and Beelzebub Slaughter of Murder Records on the opening track. On “Rapture and Perversion,” Wade returns to vocals and guitar, with Noctem back on drums.
