Hulder
Biography
Hulder is an American black metal project founded in 2018 by Belgian-born musician Marliese Beeuwsaert, who performs under the name Hulder. Originally established in the Pacific Northwest and now based in Washington, the project draws heavily from medieval imagery, Belgian folklore, ancient traditions and the darker aspects of nature and history.
Rooted firmly in the traditions of early black metal, Hulder combines raw, frostbitten guitar work, tremolo-picked melodies, forceful drumming, harsh vocals and atmospheric keyboards. The music balances savage intensity with melancholic and evocative passages, creating a sound that feels both archaic and deeply atmospheric.

Following the Ascending the Raven Stone demo in 2018 and a series of subsequent releases, Hulder issued the debut full-length Godslastering: Hymns of a Forlorn Peasantry in 2021. The The Eternal Fanfare EP followed in 2022, while Verses in Oath arrived through 20 Buck Spin in February 2024.
In August 2026, Hulder released the full-length Verbolgen, continuing the project's dedication to the destructive traditions, rituals and atmosphere of classic black metal while further developing its own distinctive voice.
