Hæresiarchs Of Dis

Hæresiarchs Of Dis is a one-person black metal project from California, masterminded by the enigmatic musician Cernunnos (sometimes credited as Cernunnos Hæresiarch). Emerging from the underground in the mid-2000s, the project delivers raw, chaotic black metal steeped in occult themes and esoteric Satanism. Known for its lo-fi production and relentless intensity, Hæresiarchs Of Dis weaves together blasphemous lyrics, dissonant riffing, and atmospheric interludes, creating a sound that feels like a forbidden grimoire set to music.

With releases like *Dis* and *Denuntiatus Cinis*, the project has cemented its reputation as a cult favorite among fans of unapologetically abrasive and philosophically dark metal. Cernunnos maintains a shroud of mystery around the project, letting the music—and cryptic album titles like *Thirty-Eighth Sermon of the Unborn*—speak for itself. While not widely mainstream, Hæresiarchs Of Dis remains a fascinating pillar of the USBM scene for those drawn to its unrelenting, otherworldly vision.
