‘Ceremony’ marks a powerful transformation for Anna von Hausswolff, expanding her sound into something vast, elemental, and deeply spiritual. Opening with the thunderous organ drones of “Epitaph of Theodor,” the album immediately establishes a tone of grandeur and dread, bridging sacred reverence with apocalyptic intensity. Across its hour-long runtime, Anna von Hausswolff channels the raw physicality of the church organ into a monumental exploration of grief, faith, and transcendence. The record shifts between moments of overwhelming force and haunting stillness, evoking artists like Earth, PJ Harvey, and Diamanda Galás while carving a sonic space entirely her own.

Tracks like “Deathbed” and “Red Sun” embody this collision of the ethereal and the earthly, where her commanding vocals rise like incantations over drones, distortion, and funereal rhythms. Elsewhere, “Funeral for My Future Children” and “Mountains Crave” blend gothic melancholy with shimmering beauty, transforming devastation into revelation. Recorded largely on the organ of Gothenburg’s Annedal Church, the album’s sound is both intimate and immense, echoing through sacred space and human emotion alike. ‘Ceremony’ stands as a darkly transcendent milestone in Anna von Hausswolff’s catalog—an unflinching confrontation with mortality and the sublime.
