ONDSKAPT

Release Year: 2004
Artist Origin: SWE
Style: raw enigmatic orthodox black metal

realized during the rise of Kvarforth's Selbstmord label, this malignant debut longplay [2003] was recorded in ten days at The Abyss studio and features some Shining members - its title translates as May The Dragon Be My Guide, revealing six nameless compositions of obscure, claustrophobic, orthodox satanic black metal, spreading the idea of anti existence via dark, mid-paced misanthropic musick, akin to classic Thorns and Mayhem, ultimately distancing from the masses, while Acerbus is really talented vocalist - harsh low and agonized black screams go hand in hand with some chanting involved, adding up an eerie esoteric touch; this is quite rare early edition by now defunct French label
