Re-issue of the debut studio album by the Norwegian black metal solo project Burzum. Originally released in March 1992.
Early Black Metal from Count Grishnack defines some of the characteristics of the genre although simple, and often suffocatingly feral with ghoulish distorted screams garbling any message but the mood: sadness. The music evokes a dark and emotional despair that is suppressed fear within human existence.

“Wolves of the Trench” marks the bold return of Grenadier with an album that takes no time to breathe. From the opening salvo, the listener is dragged headlong into the mud-choked carnage of World War I, where machine-gun fire collides with blast beats and serrated riffs crawl forward in relentless formation. Each track is a campaign of its own—blood-soaked, unyielding, and steeped in the grim machinery of industrial slaughter.
At times tragic, at times folkloric, melancholy giving way to bloodlust, Ab Amitia Pulsae proves once again that MAVORIM are uniquely adept at fully coloring within the lines of black metal with the boldest and bravest hues.
