Despite this seemingly significant change, the Sargeist aesthetic remains resolute and unyielding - indeed, they are more Unbound than ever. Grimy yet spectral, icily melodic but burning with a desperation beyond compare, songwriting that cuts to the heart of the purest black metal but reverentially receives it blood: the Sargeist of Unbound are a band renewed and revitalized, prepared to keep the throne they've occupied these many years through a subtle yet studied refinement.
12" black vinyl (33 rpm) with 4 original tracks + 4 bonus tracks earlier released on EP, split and compilation (Blood Division, Superior Revenge, Deathless Will, Lamb) in deluxe jacket with gloss laminate with double sided insert. Secon pressing: 300 copies worldwide.
Originally released as a 7” EP by WOOD-NYMPH RECORDS (Flanders) in 1996 after the vampire purge and introduction of The Black Lourde of Crucifixion, The Marauder, and Lilith to the line up. This version includes the full ep which did not fit onto the limited 7" vinyl version.
BEHEXEN should require no introduction. One of the longest-running Finnish black metal bands, BEHEXEN have patiently spread out their album releases in such a manner that each serves as a tome, a poignant snapshot of that era of its creators, with each being unique in its headspace but undeniably coming from the same visionary minds. But prior to essential early albums like 2000's Rituale Satanum and 2004's classic By the Blessing of Satan, BEHEXEN had recorded a trio of equally compelling demos - and even one prior, under the moniker Lords of the Left Hand, in 1995.
Pressed on clear heavy vinyl w/ black & blood red splatters. Comes with a 4-page 12"x12" booklet, A2 poster and a download card. Colors on final record may vary to a degree from the mockup.
