Teitan is a one-man project by Devi Hisgen, the lead singer and guitarist of Cthuluminati. Devi is notorious for making experimental and dark music for every project he’s involved in. Teitan was formed in 2009 by Devi and Damon Bergkotte. After releasing a demo in 2009 called ‘Dark Ritual’, Damon stopped making black metal music and with that Teitan seemed to die a sudden death like only true underground black metal projects do. But the two remained friends and after many dormant years Damon encouraged Devi to release more work under the name of Teitan. He still supported the initial idea for next level chaotic black metal madness. So Devi went to the writing table and put together the debut album, ‘Weight of the Void’, which was first released through Zwaertgevegt Records exactly ten years after the demo.
Playing and writing in black metal bands for more than a decade meant that Devi’s song writing skills were more than proficient. However, recording by himself was still a bit of a challenge, so in the following years Devi trained to record and produce all instruments himself and wrote a few songs that he kept hidden away. Subsequently he started writing for ‘Vákuum’. Once the EP was finished, Devi remixed and mastered ‘Weight of the Void’ and re-released it, following it up with a single called ‘Shadowlord’.
With Teitan, Devi has embraced the chance to write about dark scientific theories and obscure philosophers whilst experimentally implementing drone elements into very intense black metal. 2021 marks the start of a very interesting path for Teitan. Much more music will follow from here on. A gripping, intense and unique sound in a vast world of underground black metal.
