The wait is over – SOLEFALD have, after four years of silence finally released their latest effort “Norrøn Livskunst”. One year ago, when I conducted the interview with Cornelius, he announced the album as the […]
This is no real “new” album but a re-release of the fist SOLEFALD-Demo “Jernlov” from 1996 as well as a compilation of several artists contributing their versions of SOLEFALD-songs from over a decade. Due to […]
This was my first encounter with SIGH. And a formative one. An album wich starts deceivingly “normal”, but ends as a soundtrack to some drugged horror film. The title Track, at the same time the […]

This autumn has been fruitful for Metal. Not exactly for its avantgarde-moments, true – but the new albums of BEHEMOTH, IMMORTAL, NILE and DARK FUNERAL did put an end to my non-metal mood of the […]
