SVARTIÐAUDI – REVELATIONS OF THE RED SWORD LP (Ván Records)

On sophomore full-length, ‘Revelations Of The Red Sword’, Svartidauði transition seamlessly from the monolithic magmatic emissions that rendered ‘Flesh Cathedral’ one of Iceland’s most colossal black episodes to shorter, sharper solar strikes still scorching through the ether, sizzling sanity, sanitising psychosis and reaffirming their enduring essence, even with a man overboard.
