American duo Agartha, formed in 2019 in Louisiana by Jeremy Berry (guitars and drums) and Ryan Evans (vocals), releases their long-awaited debut EP The Hidden, an epic treat that delves into the depths of traditional heavy metal with touches of NWoBHM and hard rock. Released digitally on August 29, 2025, via Bandcamp, and in physical formats (CD and LP) on October 3, 2025, by No Remorse Records, the EP is approximately 26 minutes long and represents a natural evolution of the band's sound, which had already impressed with a demo in 2020 and a 7" in 2022.
The Hidden evokes a subterranean, mythical world—inspired by the legendary city of Agartha, a hidden kingdom at the center of the Earth—with grandiose riffs, captivating melodies, and an atmosphere of epic adventure. The production, mixed and mastered by Arthur Rizk (known for his work with Eternal Champion, Sumerlands, and Blood Incantation), balances the emotional rawness of classic metal with a dramatic scale, honoring icons like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest while injecting modern, underground influences. The instrumentals are the highlight: proto-metal gallops and catchy harmonies, reminiscent of Wytch Hazel. create an irresistible flow of tension and release.
Evans' vocals, described as "raw and dirty" in reviews, are the controversial point—they contrast with the refined melody, adding raw authenticity, but may require an ear accustomed to old-school metal. Overall, The Hidden is a cohesive and ambitious EP, perfect for epic heavy metal fans seeking something fresh and rooted in tradition. Available for unlimited streaming on Bandcamp, it's an ideal gateway into the dark and powerful universe of Agartha. If you enjoy mythological narratives with heavy riffs, this is your next addiction.
