Release Year: 2021
Artist Origin: SWE
Style: epic dynamic viking black metal

although all four tracks from The Abode of Fire are easy to find online, this distinct mini album was initially released on vinyl only, paying tribute to the traditional format while also serving as a preview of forthcoming full-length, recorded during the same period, with its essence defined by striking stylistic diversity: the opening The Twilight Ship sets off with an epic Viking metal grandeur, majestic vocal harmonies, Nordic melodies and powerful riffs, then Fenrisulven takes an acoustic turn, incorporating violin and folkloric warmth, while the title track returns to harsher roots, combining aggression of ferocious black metal, rough vocals and memorable solo; finally, Sacrifice 2.0 offers faster, more concise interpretation of a song from Fire Meets Ice longplay, proving that four tracks can encompass a broad emotional and stylistic range without losing overall direction; Dutch ultra clear vinyl edition with a pro-printed lyric insert is limited to 100 units only
