THIRD ALBUM OF VINTAGE CULT METAL FROM THE CLASSIC SOLO PROJECT CREATED BY DARKTHRONE'S FENRIZ

Isengard was the solo-project initially started in 1989 by Fenriz - one the key driving forces behind Norwegian legends Darkthrone - because he had many musical ideas to explore that didn't strictly fit in with the style and music of his main band. Under the Isengard moniker, Fenriz released 2 albums encapsulating doom, death, black & Folk/Viking metal in the shape of 'Vinterskugge' & 'Høstmørke', & finally we welcome the third addition to this cult project.

After a period of 25 long years since Isengard’s last studio output, and having recently unearthed a set of tracks from his own archive of material recorded back in those early glory days, this new series of tracks - which were thought to be lost - follow on from some of the metal last heard on 1994’s ‘Vinterskugge’.

‘Vårjevndøgn’ is a monumental journey of epic heavy metal mixed with a often more sombre doomy rock/metal atmosphere bringing to mind bands like US heavy metal veterans Pentagram, & also includes 2 tracks previously only heard on the limited ‘Traditional Doom Cult’ 7” Peaceville release from 2017.

Everything on ‘Vårjevndøgn’ was performed and engineered by Fenriz himself. The tracks were all recorded between 1989 & 1993 using the infamous Necrohell Studios, notable for recording Darkthrone’s classic ‘Transilvanian Hunger’ & ‘Panzerfaust’ albums.
‘Vårjevndøgn’ was mastered by Jack control at Enormous Door.

The booklet includes liner notes from Fenriz explaining the origins of the release, the recording process, & some background into his influences at the time.

This is about as good as OSDM gets, to be honest. Blood Incantation are quickly building a pretty flawless discography of modern classics and every release just improves and evolves their sound. Stellar stuff (literally). Colin Kauffman

The Palms Of Sorrowed Kings
by Obsequiae

supported by 12 fans who also own “Vårjevndøgn”

Actually, I don't know how I feel about this album. Let me explain. I enjoy the heavier passages, the Black Metal side of things, but I VERY much enjoy the harp-only tracks. To combine both these elements, in theory, should not even work. In practice, it does - and very much so. I enjoy the second half of the album the most, though it's best consumed in one sitting. So, take 50 minutes and lend your hand (or, ears?) to the palms of sorrowed kings. It will be worth your time. David Fischer
