Shrivelling Lights, is a self-produced work forged in solitude – six sprawling songs that channel isolation, grief, rage, and a longing for something ancient. It is a descent into personal and collective shadow, built upon jagged riffs, haunting melodies, and vocals that move from lament to invocation.

The lyrical themes explore emotional and symbolic terrains: in Moonburnt, scorched memory and spiritual ruin; in The Grip of Fog, loss buried in the landscape; and in Urisk, a transformation through abandonment. The record closes with An Eala Bhàn, a fragile, poetic vision of decay and dread, drawing inspiration from Gaelic folklore.

While the album was entirely self-recorded and produced by the band, Urisk was joined by session drummer Filip Gäddnäs, whose dynamic performance gave pulse to their sonic architecture. Final mastering was handled by Fabian Schulz at Sunsetter Recording Studio in Bremen, Germany, adding a cold clarity to the dense mix. The striking cover artwork was created by Joan Llopis Doménech, reflecting the album’s themes of decay and spiritual unrest.

Shrivelling Lights was released on April 25, 2025, across all major streaming platforms and as a physical CD – the band’s first official release. Rooted in DIY ethos and uncompromising vision, this is not an easy album. But for those willing to listen closely, it speaks in tongues both forgotten and feared.

OIDHCHE I is the first demo by Urisk, recorded and released independently at Samhain 2024.

Consisting of three tracks, the demo lays the foundation for the band’s blend of atmospheric black metal and progressive elements – raw in execution, but already shaped by a strong sense of structure and mood. Themes of loneliness, memory, and inner decay run through the lyrics, carried by sharp riffs, shifting dynamics, and vocals that alternate between fragility and fury.

OIDHCHE I was completely self-produced by the band, joined by session drummer Filip Gäddnäs. It marks the beginning of Urisk’s path – imperfect by nature, honest in tone.
