Background information über 'Steinras'

Holy hell, what a ride this is! Steinras have crafted something absolutely monumental with their self-titled debut - a black metal opus that's been years in the making and boy, does it show. The brainchild of Steinar Aven (known from Nattverd) and Arne Gandrud, this isn't just another Norwegian black metal album; it's a carefully orchestrated journey through the frozen landscapes of the genre's homeland. The concept here is brilliant - ten tracks, ten different legendary Norwegian vocalists, each bringing their own distinct flavor to the proceedings. From Skagg of Deathcult opening things up with "En Kald Død" to Lars 'Balfori' Larsen of Lunaris closing out with "Satanic Fate", every single track feels like a masterclass in atmospheric black metal.

What really sets this apart is how seamlessly each guest vocalist integrates with the core sound. Doedsadmiral from Nordjevel delivers haunting vocals on "Djevelen I Minnet", while V'gandr of Helheim brings his signature style to "Timeglasset". The production captures that perfect balance between raw aggression and atmospheric depth that makes Norwegian black metal so captivating. Tracks like "Crawler Of The Crypt" featuring Stud Bronson and "Titus Satanicus" with Thomas Eriksen of Mork showcase the project's ability to honor tradition while pushing boundaries. This is essential listening for anyone who understands that black metal is more than just music - it's a spiritual experience.

For fans of:
Nattverd, Nordjevel, Helheim, Mork, Tsjuder, 1349 and Gehenna
