BIZARREKULT - Den Tapte Krigen · DIGIPAK CD

Gatefold LP (smoke marble) with padded inner sleeve and protection sleeve (ltd. 200). With their seventh full-length entitled "Narkissos", FORTÍÐ have finally delivered a masterpiece that should easily make it into the top part of those end of the year lists. The Icelandic trio has not even changed much, they are just doing everything even better than before. FORTÍÐ forge melodic riffing from black, death, thrash, and heavy metal threads into one sharp weapon. The Icelanders don't care about any particular genre, but focus entirely on writing excellent songs. As a result "Narkissos" features nine catchy and fiery metal anthems. FORTÍÐ determined the musical coordinates of their long journey with the ambitious "Völuspá" album trilogy, which was released from 2003 to 2010. Their early combination of harsh black and death metal riffing with a pinch of thrash and a penchant for epic melodies, versatile vocals as well as a heavy dose of "Icelandic sound" was continuously refined on the acclaimed "Pagan Prophecies" (2012) full-length and the following "9" (2015) album. With the dark and deadly "World Serpent" (2020), FORTÍÐ charted the current course that led via the two-track EP "Dómur um dauðan hvern" (2022) straight to "Narkissos". Lyrically, FORTÍÐ remain on an Old Norse and pagan course. Guðmundsson has woven a yarn in a Nordic context about a character with the so-called narcissistic personality disorder that runs as a red thread through "Narkissos". FORTÍÐ present a contemporary metal album that is both musically and lyrically taking the Icelanders to a new peak, and by firmly placing substance over style will find its audience.

CD in jewelcase with 12 page booklet. About the album Hailing from Germany, Sijjin emerges as a formidable force in the death metal scene with their debut album "Sumerian Promises." Infusing the traditional elements of ancient mysticism and relentless brutality, this release is a powerful testament to the band's raw talent and dedication to the genre. The album's intricate compositions are shrouded in an aura of dark mythology and esoteric themes that transport listeners into an otherworldly realm. With tracks like "Daemon Blessex" and "Dagger Of A Thousand Deaths," Sijjin crafts a sonic landscape filled with ferocity and complexity. The production quality on "Sumerian Promises" amplifies its intense atmosphere, weaving haunting melodies with thunderous riffs that echo through the cryptic corridors of ancient Sumeria. The musicianship exhibited by Sijjin is unparalleled, characterized by precise drumming, intricate guitar work, and guttural vocals that resonate with a primal energy. This album is not merely a collection of songs; it is an immersive experience that challenges the listener's perception of death metal's boundaries. As such, "Sumerian Promises" stands as both a tribute to the genre's roots and a bold step into uncharted territory for Sijjin.
