Hailing from the currently thriving Belgian black metal scene, Lhaäd are a part of The Nox Entity collective, which also includes the likes of Entartung, Rituals of the Dead Hand, and Wolven. To begin to understand Lhaäd, one must dissect the band's phonetically & visually unique moniker: an anagram of "hadal." The hadal zone, also known as the hadopelagic zone, is the deepest region of the ocean, lying within oceanic trenches. The name comes from Hades, the ancient Greek god of the underworld. Fittingly, Lhaäd bring the same, incredibly vast darkness & tension as if they were to capture and take you to the ocean floor, deep within the largest abysses.
Such was the sound of the band's 2021 debut album (released on Babylon Doom Cult Records), "Below", and now Lhaäd go impossibly deeper & darker with the follow-up "Beneath".
During 2025 the band releases "Beyond".
