Norwegian experimental music collective HOLISSSTIK have released 'Reoccurring Dreams', the third and final single from their upcoming debut album "Chapter 1: This Endless Solitude". Shaped by Tor-Helge Skei, founding member of MANES and LETHE, the project aims to create a unique sonic space between metal, electronic music, and experimental sounds.

Led by Tor-Helge Skei, HOLISSSTIK emerged as a collective bringing together musicians from the MANES and LETHE circles, figures from the experimental scene, and artists from a new generation. The project's debut album "Chapter 1: This Endless Solitude" will serve as the opening chapter of a planned trilogy.

The new single 'Reoccurring Dreams' stands out with its experimental structure, combining dark electronic textures, ambient atmospheres, and black metal influences. Beginning with dense layers of synths, the track moves through an atmospheric landscape where trip-hop, industrial, and extreme metal elements converge within the same composition.

Skei explains that the track evolved in a different direction from its original concept, with the collaborative process shaping its final form. 'Reoccurring Dreams' features former MANES members Eivind Fjøseide and Tor-Arne Helgesen, alongside experimental musician Kristoffer Oustad and KAMRA vocalist Nik Košar.

Nik Košar's vocal approach strengthens the track's experimental identity, moving away from traditional black metal boundaries, while the lyrics explore a dark perspective on modern society's loss of connection with nature. The song offers a glimpse into the album's overall atmosphere through its thematic focus on humanity's self-created sense of isolation and alienation.

HOLISSSTIK's debut album "Chapter 1: This Endless Solitude" will be released on August 14, 2026 via Season of Mist.
