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.

ΑΧΕΡΟΝΤΑΣ stands beyond and against the veils of mundane illusion. In a world shackled by politics—the ultimate deception and enslavement of the mind—the Coven upholds the path of individual ascension, where spiritual evolution is the only truth and the only freedom.
