Swedish metal quartet Stygian Fair unveil their highly anticipated full-length album, The Hidden Realm, out now on all digital platforms and in physical format as of July 11th via Rockshots Records.
The album kicks off with its powerful title track, blending thrashy riffs with a dark, honest narrative. The journey ahead explores the battle between choice and destiny through 11 tracks that touch on themes of social decay, spiritual unrest, and inner reckoning.
No clicks, no gimmicks, just pure, guitar-driven heavy metal. “The Hidden Realm” is sharper, more melodic, and more direct than their previous release “Aradia”, marking a significant evolution in their sound.
From the haunting “Abide Your Master” to the introspective “All Of Us” and the soaring “Rise from the Shadows,” this album is raw and impactful, delivering an unforgettable experience.
Get ready for real music, made by those who believe in albums that speak, challenge, and endure.

ABOUT:
Stygian Fair is a band from a small town called Umeå in the north of Sweden. The band has existed for about nine years now, and it all started when both P-O Jonsson and Emil Holmqvist decided to leave a band called ” Crave” to lay the foundations for Stygian Fair. Erik Andersson joined on bass, and Andreas Stoltz on lead vocals and guitar. This first incarnation of the band never made a big mark, recording or gig-wise… due to life’s crooked path.
In the autumn of 2016, Erik left the band, and a few weeks later, so did Andreas as well. Soon thereafter, the band gathered new momentum by welcoming Anders Hedman as the new powerhouse bass player. After a couple of auditions, Pontus Åkerlund became the new singer, and with this setting, the band recorded and launched an EP named “Into the Coven”. The band began playing live frequently at different local venues. At the end of August 2018, the band entered the studio again, and in October of the same year, came the debut “Panta Rei”. In January 202,0 came the sophomore album “Nadir” and in April 2021, “Equilibrium”.
In September 2021, Pontus Åkerlund decided to leave the band. A few weeks’ search for a new vocalist led to the return of Andreas Stoltz as lead vocalist and guitar player, after his years in Binary Creed and Hollow. In late 2022, Stygian Fair entered the studio once again to record ten new powerful songs with Stygian Fair’s trademark strong melodies. It is titled Aradia after the witch daughter of Diana, the goddess of the hunt and the moon.
Now it’s time for a new chapter with a new album due in 2025 with Rockshots Records.
