In digipak CD. Old 1st version style front cover! Northern Heritage is proud to finally present the definitive reissue of possibly the single most powerful Finnish black metal album of the late 90´s: "Strength and Honour". Combining the satanic aggression of early Finnish black metal with the arising militant pagan awareness. this album was instrumental in the subcultural development of Finnish (black) metal. A reissue was deemed necessary because thousands of copies have been sold in several different editions. but lacking the clarity and perfection of a definitive version. With BLUTRACHE 1999 demo "Marsch zu neuen Zeitaltern" as bonus.
Utmost focus on the core elements of riffs, melody, song structures and lyrics, leaving out everything unnecessary. In stripped down simplicity of sound, music and artwork it continues logical journey since Church Of Atrocity, with more distorted, lethal and fierce sound.
The nineties black metal classic finally officially re-issued with original Norwegian titles and lyrics. Includes 1991 Porta studio recordings and "Samlerens Kammer" demo as bonus tracks!
Rostorchester has never had such a fat and rich sound and we thank our boyish mixer for taking the time to turn the boozy mess raw recordings into one of the best Rostorchester productions ever.
