Limited green vinyl edition of Keep of Kalessin Agnen: A Journey Through The Dark marking 25 years since its original release.

 

A classic of Hyper-Speed Norwegian Black Metal - featuring former Satyricon live guitarist Obsidian C - presenting eight tracks of dark and epic black metal (incorporating elements of thrash along with eerie discordant riffing in a relentless storm of brutality). 

 

The album’s themes were inspired by The Earthsea Quartet, the fantasy created by Ursula K. Le Guin; an ancient world of magic and conflict between darkness and light.
