Release Year: 2020
Artist Origin: NOR
Style: powerful grim fiery black metal

cult debut studio full-length [1999] by exceptionally phenomenal Norwegian black metal project, consisting of seven nameless tracks, was masterfully crafted at legendary Grieghallen studio - it spreads the supreme vibes of freezing hellscapes with Nordic atmosphere and seething visions, killing with extremely harmonious and catchy riffs, grim, piercing vocals and infernal vibe akin to early nineties' tradition; on top of that, sung in old Norwegian, Høst's cinematic vocal performance creates an euphoric, deeply emotional effect that lasts for years, while bass and drums were recorded by Frostein S. Arctander [Frostmoon]; British twentieth anniversary edition includes early three track Koldbrann I Jesu Marg EP [1996] as bonus
