Hexerei im Zwielicht der Finsternis
Very psychological music done by two witches in Norway. Nacht & Nebel has
with Aghast created one of the most frightening albums ever, just listen
two it when your trying to go to sleep and you'll understand. Very dark
and scary sounds together with some very sad or cruel melodies. I like
this album, it really gives me the creeps when I'll try to sleep
especially the last track with the howling wolves in the
night.

Hey! What is this shit? I off course had to buy this album without
listening to it, guessed if I got a chock or what!. This isn't
even metal, not a guitar or a drum beat in the entire 40 minutes.
I'm Warning people strongly not to buy it without listening to it first,
since you might think it's the usual B.M. style like I did.
Don't get me wrong, after about 10 listenings I think a few of the tracks
is quite good, but I don't think many of you out there will
aprove to Nuclear Holocausto still using the band name Beherit. It would
be much better if this was released under a different name, now they will
just piss people off.

There's a tounge twister for you, with a title thats almost impossible to
prenounse Equimanthorn has created a very controversial album. This is
with good marginal the most psych album I've ever heard. The band
contains all tree members of Absu plus some of their friends, and the
music is even more inspired by the Ancient Ones and the Elder Gods (read
Necronomicon). The lyrics are very wierd at first but if you compere them
to the necronomicon so will you find some very interresting tales.
It's not at all as evil as Aghast is but it's hell of a lot more psycho
with lots of wierd samplings and sound effects (seems like they really
have played Doom II too much on their computer). The whole album got like
a magic spell over it and it is very annoying at first. A matter a fact it
took me about ten very tough listenings to it before I started to like
it.

Fodt Til Å Herske
Slow beautiful medieval synthmusic from the darkest dungeons of Norway.
Mortiis is the ex-bassist of Emperor and left that band because he was so
hard too work with, now his on his own and this is his second solo CD,
the first being Vond which I unfortunately have not heard. This album
however is a great one to play when youre trying too sleep, study or just
relax. It can be a bit monotonous if you just listen too it sence the two
songs are both 25+min, but when youre doing something else at the same
time as you listen so will it just fly by.

Ånden som Gjorde Oppror
This is much better then the first Mortiis CD. The music has more
variation and "colour" then the other but in the same process it lost
the darker touch it had, instead it's more beautiful and sad and it's
easy to imagen that you're standing in and ancient norse land. It
has also just two songs but they're both great (infact they are the
two best and shortest with 18+ & 21+min). If you only by one of these
great three albums, let it be this one.

Keisser av en Dimention Ukjent
This album has the best of the two previous ones: Its as long as
the first and has the same dark touch, but it has also got the same great
well performed complexed sound of the second. The material though is not
as good as on the second album but this is also a very good relaxation
CD.

Ahh! what an album. 10 great songs with great sound and atmosphere. I must
rate this as the best Mortiis album. The reson to the songs being 10 and
not 2 as usual is the fact that this is the upcoming five 7" singles put
together to one CD. They are limitet to 500 copies each but this Cd is
done in an astonishing 5000 copies! You should really try to get hold of
this or even better, the five 7". By the way, the artwork is done by John
Bauer if anyone wants to know.

Seems like Raison is trying to copying the sound and style of Enigma and
Mortiis with some sampled parts from movies (?) and some wierd keyboards,
but he doesn't succed very well. The album got a few good parts but is
just too damn boring, and doesn't give me much pleasure. And can someone
shoot those damn monks, they are very annoying to me as an antichristian.
No this isn't good, but some of his newer work seems alot better, or so I
have heard.

This is the long awaited none metal project of Satyr Wongraven of such
great bands as Satyricon and Storm. It seems as everything he does is a
success and this is no exception. With some aid of Ihsahn (of Emperor and
Thou Shalt Suffer) has he created a fenomenal album. It mostly reminds of
some classical work like Grieg and I belive he has been a great
influence. The sound is very modern though with keyboards and synths put
together nicely with normal vocals to get a very beautiful harmonic
"riffs" with a medieval atmosphere of the same high class as Mortiis
perhaps ever greater. I just love to put this album on as I'm going too
sleep and just let my mind travel away to an ancient place in the
northern nature.
