Grim Nihlistic Black Metal. This is a cold as death, Black Metal masterpiece!! Featuring members of HORNA & BEHEXEN, this is the Finnish BM supergroup! Perhaps the coldest release since DARKTHRONE's "Under A Funeral Moon"! The riffing is fast, melodic, and in pure Finnish/Norwegian black metal roots heritage. The band's melodic quality shines best in the track 'Sargeist' on this album. It's absolutely heart wrenching. Dripping with anger and emotion. Regret, sorrow, hatred, ready to end it all. No Funeral. This is the real fucking deal. Sargeist does a brilliant job breaking from blast-beats into a head banging steady rhythm that keeps me tapping my boot through the song at different rhythmically timed formations. It's in many ways traditional shit, done better than most groups out there. Re-issue properly with a complete updated layout released with leading band member Shatraug himself as supervisor. 200x limited edition, with J08 booklet in a crystal jewel box, sealed.
