Grim, nihilistic black metal at its finest—this is as cold as death itself. A true black metal masterpiece featuring members of HORNA and BEHEXEN, SARGEIST stands as a Finnish black metal supergroup. Perhaps the coldest release since DARKTHRONE's Under a Funeral Moon, this album is steeped in the pure heritage of Finnish and Norwegian black metal.
The riffing is fast, melodic, and relentless, with the band’s melodic essence shining brightest in the track Sargeist—a song dripping with sorrow, anger, and raw emotion. It’s absolutely heart-wrenching, evoking regret, hatred, and a sense of finality. No funeral—just the real, unfiltered essence of black metal.
SARGEIST masterfully shifts from relentless blast beats to steady, headbanging rhythms, keeping the listener entranced through intricate, well-timed transitions. While rooted in tradition, this album surpasses most, delivering black metal in its purest, most potent form. This reissue features a fully updated layout, meticulously overseen by founding member Shatraug himself.
