Urisk are a black metal duo from Bonn, Germany, formed in 2023 by Benedikt Brixius and Marleen Bügener. Their music brings together traditional black metal, progressive structures and atmospheric passages, with lyrics shaped by personal despair, environmental themes, Celtic folklore and myth.

With CALL, Urisk deal with the loss of wilderness, Gaelic culture and the mythical in Scotland and beyond. The title carries two meanings: the Scottish Gaelic call, meaning “loss”, and the English “call”, understood as a voice reaching out to remember what has been pushed aside or erased.

The album moves between grief, anger and the hope of return. Across its seven tracks, Urisk write about ecological and cultural loss as connected things: disappearing wild species, damaged seas and forests, lost languages, broken traditions and older ways of living with the land. These themes are carried through long atmospheric black metal songs, harsh vocals, layered guitars and moments of folk-rooted darkness.

CALL also expands the band’s sound. Most instruments and vocals were recorded in Urisk’s own home studio, while the drums were recorded separately at Liquid Aether Studios. The album keeps a raw feeling, but with a larger and more detailed production than the band’s earlier DIY releases.
