spixband Just found Nechochwen and don’t know how I missed these guys, but sure am glad I found them. In these times it’s good to find things that inspire you and Nechochwen truly inspire with this album and others I’ve heard so far. Thanks Aaron and co. for doing what you do. Skyhook and Heart of Akamon are my favorites (so far) love all the diverse instrumentation. Favorite track: Skyhook.

Jake W. This is a quintessential USBM release that blends the heritage and folklore of Native American traditions and stories of the Ohio Valley. Aaron and Andrew are genuinely special musicians and great people, a one of a kind band. So glad that the vinyl repress happened! Favorite track: Lost on the Trail of the Setting Sun.

Album_Hunters Not sure how they got the intro sample with the war-cry/screams on Lost on the Trail, but damn does it go hard! Great folky/black metal! Favorite track: Lost on the Trail of the Setting Sun.

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    After many years as a sold-out collector’s item, Nechochwen's milestone album “Heart of Akamon” (2015) has been re-issued on vinyl.

    The West Virginian duo seamlessly blends haunting melodies, intricate guitar work, and evocative storytelling to transport you to a world where history and legend intertwine. The thematic heart of Nechochwen's dirges lies in the stories of indigenous people, evoking a sense of persecution, struggle, and pride.

    “Heart of Akamon” offers meticulously crafted metal in a masterful fusion with elements of dark folk and Americana – it captures the essence of the hunt, the intensity of battle, and the magic of tales told around a campfire. Fans of contemporary acts such as Saor, Agalloch, and Falls of Rauros are sure to appreciate Nechochwen’s unique Appalachian folk metal blend.
