Skotos

Dødsferd

Blistering Greek black metal

Official Description

Greek black metal legends Dødsferd conjure up what's arguably their best material yet. This is a step up still from their landmark album 'Diseased Remnants of a Dying World' and it retains the fiery, emotionally-charged black metal music on that one while improving upon the intensity and expression. The two songs are probably the most potent ones the band has to offer and it's impossible not to be moved by the deeply harrowing music and plaintive cries of the vocalist who's giving the performance of his career. Everything about the music is tempered to perfection and one can't help but keep listening to them over and over again. This brand new 'Skotos' release is combined with the full length album in a brand new 12-panel digipak packaging for the CD while the vinyl will see a standalone 7" edition, with the band's own label FYC Records handling the combined tape edition. This special release is not to be missed.

My Thoughts

Raw atmospheric black metal it it’s sun soaked Mediterranean best. Wait… That’s not right.

Oh, but it is. For 20 years, Greece has been the home of Dødsferd since it’s beginning as a one-man side project. Now, 10 albums, as many splits and EPs, and five comps, two new songs are available.

Packaged with a re-release of the landmark album ‘Diseased Remnants of a Dying World’, what you have here is the pinnacle of what raw atmo-black can be.

A full LP of this would easily be Album of the Year. I can still hope right?
