Grógaldr represents the new face of North American Black Metal, better known as USBM, the band gained notoriety after the split with Sanguine Relic, but it is in this self-titled compilation that brings together their demos Malignant Channelings and Deviant Masque of the Wrath that we can notice all Grógaldr’s rustic fury. Cold, sharp riffs create a dark, dense ambience, coupled with the howls of Bringer of Obsidian Death, also known as another infamous Obsidian Grave entity.
Necromancy, blasphemy and self-harm are part of Grógaldr’s music, essential for fans of Sanguine Relic, Kommodus, Drowning the Light… if you don’t know these bands, stay away from it!
