Bringing together members of Arcturus, Mayhem, Thorns, \u0026amp; 1349 for a masterwork of eerie black metal, 2019's 'Ravnsvart' marked the studio debut from these true legends of the Norwegian metal scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen one looks back at the bloodstained history of black metal, the names are as familiar as those of old friends - Mayhem, Burzum, Darkthrone. But in the shadows lurked another prime purveyor of northern darkness. Formed by Marius Vold \u0026amp; Steinar Sverd Johnsen in 1989, Mortem was one of the first black metal bands to crawl out of the woodwork in Norway, releasing the highly coveted \u0026amp; brutal 'Slow Death' demo, with Euronymous \u0026amp; Dead of Mayhem acting as producer \u0026amp; cover artist respectively. After the release of 'Slow Death', the band was laid to rest with members going on to form \u0026amp; feature in acclaimed titans such as Arcturus \u0026amp; Thorns, both of which would become mainstays in the black metal scene \u0026amp; beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a moment of nostalgia \u0026amp; a desire for something more brutal beyond the current vessel of Arcturus, the corpse of Mortem was revived, \u0026amp; the unholy duo of Marius \u0026amp; Steinar joined forces once more. And so, the long-awaited album, titled 'Ravnsvart', was brought to the world, possessing the same raw brutality \u0026amp; spirit as the original incarnation, plus fresh elements uniquely woven into the fabric of the early sounds of Scandinavian black metal, \u0026amp; crafted into a masterpiece of sinister horror. Joining the duo is Hellhammer from the legendary Mayhem on drums, plus Tor Stavenes of 1349\/Svart Lotus on bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Ravnsvart' was followed up by a full reimagining \u0026amp; re-recording of the classic 'Slow Death' demo tracks, also including a cover of the Mayhem classic, 'Funeral Fog'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis CD edition of 'Ravnsvart' is presented in jewel case packaging complete with a 12-page booklet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRavnsvart ( 06:34 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSjelestjeler ( 05:11 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlood Horizon ( 03:57 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMorkets Monolitter ( 04:44 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTruly Damned ( 05:59 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDemon Shadow ( 06:13 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePort Darkness ( 07:03 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Core ( 05:50 )\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54421398159745,"sku":"1892479","price":12.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0801056787521.jpg?v=1750649909","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1892479","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
