This the
first release from the then solo Swedish black metal project Thornium, then helmed by “Thyph”
(Thypheus), and it was released completely independently in 1994.
As you can
probably already tell by the cover artwork for the release, this is cold raw
and bloody viscous black metal of the kind that was thankfully so popular in Northern
Europe at the time.
Everything
about this demo literally
screams hatred and a grim fascination with the occult, everything from the guttural
and raw vocal work to the not very complex but still effective riff work has a
certain distinct element of insanity that is fairly hard to capture.
This is by
no means a ground-breaking release of its time, nor is it even that original
really, but it is still a very solid demo that is well worth a listen if you’re
into raw black metal.
