More weirdo black metal with weirdo, pseudo-melodic vocals. Seeing as I haven't explored this band much beyond this release and a few songs online, I can't say with certainty that this isn't at all exemplary of what they've done, but listening to this stuff back to back with other material reveals a pretty big contrast; There are almost no blast beats, it's not as malignant (at least not in the same way), there's more unrestrained vocal-fuckery, almost surf-rock sounding guitars and more weirdness in general. Think the Norweigan black metal sound made as a practical joke by entirely competent musician who couldn't care less about pleasing an audience. Not to say that there is no darkness, but its more likely to be found in interludes than the actual main course. Thus, this is essentially the worst introduction to Dødsengel possible, and I found myself not being very impressed with this band until I grew accustomed to the sounds within and heard their other shit (Imperator in particular). But grew it did. And it was nice. Not "bid 20€ on ebay for the totally limited to 300 copies tape supposedly never to be re-released" nice, but nice nontheless.
The only rip I ever found was 128kbps, but I found myself not really noticing until deciding to upload it. So yeah, thanks a lot Circle of Ouroborus, I've lost my ability to differentiate between shitty mp3 rips and lo-fi murk thanks to you.
If you have better rips, give me it guyse, but I think I shall remain content in enjoying this shitty rip in the meantime..

"framúrskarandi eins og alltaf bróður. . Ave!" This is a lesson. Do not attempt to try to praise artists using mangled google-translate Icelandic.
