Background information about 'Cholerik - Eine Aufarbeitung²'

There are records that feel like a punch in the gut, and then there's "Cholerik - Eine Aufarbeitung²" by FÄULNIS. This isn't just a re-release — it's an exhumation. Originally recorded in the early 2000s, born from frustration, isolation, and pure creative impulse, this is the very first manifestation of what would become the FÄULNIS project. What started as a raw, emotionally charged demo now returns over two decades later in its most complete form to date.

The remastering was handled at Temple of Disharmony — the same folks who've worked their magic on DARKTHRONE, POSSESSED, and SLAYER — and it breathes new life into these early recordings without polishing away their grit. The album comes with fresh artwork and is expanded with bonus material that offers a fascinating glimpse into the early creative process behind the project. From the haunting "Einleitung" to the crushing "Die Tote vom Flussufer", this is black metal stripped to its emotional core: ugly, honest, and utterly captivating. The bonus tracks, including the 2007 synthetic version of "Invokation", add another layer to an already dense listening experience. This is essential listening for anyone who wants to understand where FÄULNIS came from — raw, unfiltered, and absolutely vital.

For fans of:
DARKTHRONE, POSSESSED, URFAUST, WERIAN
