Probably the most underrated and unheard of black metal of the 90's... Unknown artists, no lyrics, no photos.. pure obscurity. Being the bands only LP it's far from amateur, as the members obviously knew what they were doing when it came to musicianship and recording; way ahead of their time. Powerful keyboards, though not overpowering, sharp guitars, and precise drumming. With so much praise and glory coming from the second wave Scandinavian scene, it's not surprising this release was overlooked. A true gem in almost every aspect... The only thing preventing this from being my all-time favorite black metal album is the sometimes "comical" vocals. They are great for the most part but sometimes can be a tad bit silly, as they tend to get a bit higher-pitched than the normalcy of the rest of the album, as well as sounding a bit toady. Nonetheless, hard to find any real imperfections in this record, maybe it's just me and my set of ears. Black metal, especially in the 90's, is already underground for most listeners who aren't familiar with the genre. It's a fucking shame with bands such as Vintersemestre that they never got the recognition they truly deserved. An era long gone but an album for me that will never grow old. It's hard to describe a specific sound of a particular band such as this one, so it's pretty much a listen for yourself kind of situation. 1996 was almost 20 years ago and every aspect of music has changed but it never hurts to live in the past when it comes to great music.
