Hellmary is an Indonesian one-man black metal project formed in 2025 by musician and producer Jacson Tegar. Inspired by the raw and atmospheric sound of early Burzum, the project embodies the harsh, lo-fi aesthetic characteristic of second-wave black metal, with lyrical themes centered on nihilism, spiritual desolation, and inner conflict.[1]
History
Hellmary was created in 2025 in Malaysia as a solo project by Tegar, who writes, records, and produces all music independently. The project's name is a portmanteau of "Hell" and "Hail Mary," representing the intersection between spiritual iconography and existential dread. Its debut single, Malevolence, was self-released on digital streaming platforms and marked the project's official introduction to the underground black metal scene.
Musical Style and Influences
Hellmary’s music is rooted in the raw production values and hypnotic repetition found in early Scandinavian black metal. Drawing significant influence from artists such as Burzum, Darkthrone, Mayhem, and Leviathan, Hellmary emphasizes bleak soundscapes, distorted guitar layering, minimalist percussion, and ambient textures.
Vocals are delivered in harsh, shrieked form and often buried in the mix, enhancing the project’s distant, ethereal quality. Lyrical content explores solitude, decay, inner suffering, and the loss of meaning in a post-spiritual world.
