Swedish multidisciplinary artist Michael Idehall will release the album “Vessel” on November 18, 2026, through Ant-Zen and Beläten. The ten-track record draws on sacred and apocalyptic literature as a framework for the post-industrial and dark ambient soundscapes Idehall builds across his work as a musician, writer and painter.
Tracklist and credits for ‘Vessel’
“Vessel” runs ten tracks, opening with “This Is Bardo” and closing with “Resin on the Mirror (Oneiric Dirge),” drawing track titles from sources including the I Ching and the Mahabharata. The album is mastered by Nÿland, with visual realization by Nullvoid and packaging concept by Salt. It is available as a digital album and on 12″ vinyl, pressed on grey marbled vinyl in a matte black die-cut sleeve.
