MYSTIK – DUNKLA KLANGOR… (KAPITEL I) LP (Nordisk Kultur)
Mystik is a mysterious and previously-unknown (to me, at least) entity from the Ancient Records stable, which has just simultaneously unleashed two opening shots. Although both records are listed as compilations for some reason, ‘Dunkla Klangor… (Kapitel I)’ is ostensibly the debut full-length and – like its companion piece, ‘Af Herrens Mystik… (Kapitel II)’ – it rather surprisingly sold out within minutes of arriving in select distros.
This is ultra-high-quality Black Metal for sure, perhaps too melodic for my liking, running for about 42 minutes, delivered by S., who may or may not be Swartadauþuz, not that it matters. Not that anything matters.
Evilometer: 555/666
