Review: Agartha “The Hidden”
Release date: Out now!
4 minutesThe Nwothm
Agartha is a heavy metal band founded in 2019 by Jeremy Berry, a multi-instrumentalist handling guitars and drums, and vocalist Ryan Evans. The duo shares a deep-rooted love for classic metal and a drive to explore its outer edges. Their sound blends soaring melodies with a dramatic sense of scale, drawing from the genre’s rich legacy while introducing fresh and unpredictable elements.
Grounded in the traditions of heavy metal, AGARTHA takes cues from a wide spectrum of influences. Their music channels the grandeur of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal alongside the grit and urgency of underground scenes. The result is a style that feels both timeless and personal, with compositions that balance epic ambition and emotional weight.
In 2020, the band released their first demo independently, offering a bold statement of intent that quickly resonated with fans of authentic metal. A limited 7-inch vinyl pressing followed in 2022, earning attention from collectors and reinforcing their presence in the underground circuit. AGARTHA’s approach is marked by tight musicianship and a commitment to melody, always guided by a respect for the genre’s foundations and a desire to push forward.
With each release, Agartha continues to shape their own identity within the heavy metal landscape, staying true to their roots while forging ahead with purpose and intensity.
Review
Intro is up for first and I feel like I am walking through a hazy mist while bass strings twang and acoustic melodies sing. The vocals come in velvety and smooth working perfectly in accompanying the music. I especially like how the vocals layer up at points to create some thickness and texture. Personally listening to this a few times I wish the music would have developed a little more. Otherwise a nice little opener leaving me some what intrigued.
Silver King comes in with a bang and straight away I get pure Sumerlands vibes. The music is exciting, vibrant and full of colour. The chosen guitar tones and the production some what help to give the track a great sense of uniqueness and character. I do enjoy more up tempo songs and this certainly caught my attention. I am sat here tapping my feet and shaking my head around at my desk while I do this review. The vocals slot together with the music magnificently and make the the song feel wholesome and well rounded.
The Hidden is up next and it opens up with the sounds of organic, edgy riffing. The second guitar comes in and the song progresses into a steady walking pace. In reflection to Silver King this feels slightly more slow flowing and of a hard rock vibe. But the vocals remain expressive and charged throughout standing tall and giving off some presence. So a more mellow track providing some balance to the EP.
South Flight flicks off the kettle and brews for a moment, opening with crisp, panned guitar chugs, open chords, and cymbal taps. This intro gives way to a steady, chord-focused section before the vocals slide in. What defines the track is its cascading guitar melodies and vocals that reach out into the shroud. I was hoping for more development in the guitar work, and while the riffs do shift later on, they never quite catch the ear like “Silver King” did.
Inter Hyperborea closes the EP with emotional, driving guitars and majestic melodies that immediately lift the atmosphere. There is a drifting, almost weightless quality to the track, a feeling that runs throughout the release, but here it feels more expansive and adventurous. The melodic, interwoven guitar riffs add sparkle and movement, keeping the song engaging from start to finish. Vocals remain strong and consistent, and this final track is no exception. It conjures the feeling of gliding through galaxies or soaring across open skies, like a heroic quest in search of meaning. A confident and stirring closer that gives the EP a sense of resolution.
Conclusion
This EP lays down a strong foundation, with plenty of atmosphere, expressive vocals, and flashes of character that point toward something exciting. “Silver King” is the clear highlight, bursting with energy and colour, and showing just how good this band can be when everything locks in. The rest of the release has its moments too, especially in mood and vocal delivery, even if some tracks feel less developed. There’s definite room to grow, but the core ingredients are here. With sharper songwriting and bolder shifts, this band could really carve out a distinctive space. A promising release that shows the bands potential.

Nevertheless Keep It True returns in style with a new event called Keep It True Legions. You can read the full statement below released by the festival:
