Style: cold savage pagan black metal
historical past of nowadays' progressive and poetic underground scene minions has been brought to the surface once again: cold Nordic pagan/black metal pours in spades from their debut full-length, recorded back in 2002, though it is more a consequence of the early years than anything else; they have been active since 1995 with various demo, EP and promo recordings following the same desolate freezing distorted black metal formula with a mad vocal tone, and with proper production of these nine tracks it sounded as pure culmination back in the year; recent double disc re-issue comes with a remastered sound, liner notes by Aðalbjörn Tryggvason, and extra disc, featuring full 1997 and 1998 demo recordings plus Undirheimalagid rehearsal from 1997
