Three years after I det glimrande mörkrets djup, Sorhin returned with their second and final fulllength, Apokalypsens ängel, originally released in 2000. Recorded at Abyss Studio in January 1999, the album saw the band developing their unmistakable Swedish black metal sound into something more expansive, melancholic and misanthropic. Built upon the raw foundations of their earlier material, Apokalypsens ängel unfolds through haunting melodies and even more unmistakable guitar riffing, culminating in some of Sorhin’s most memorable and imposing material. A landmark of late-90s Swedish black metal, Apokalypsens ängel remains the final full-length statement from a band that helped define the darker side of Sweden’s underground.
Shadow Records (distributed and marketed by Regain Records) proudly presents the reissue of Sorhin's debut EP, Skogsgriftens rike on LP and CD formats. Originally released in 1996, Skogsgriftens rike marks the beginning of Sorhin's journey into the pantheon of Swedish black metal, laying the foundation for the cult full-length albums “I det glimrande mörkrets djup” and “Apokalypsens ängel”. Even at this early stage, the band's identity was fully formed, a cold, evocative and unmistakably Nordic vision that would become their enduring hallmark. Nearly thirty years on, Skogsgriftens rike still stands as a monument to the cold majesty of 1990s Swedish black metal, untouched by time, uncompromising in spirit, and as haunting as the northern wilderness that inspired it. Formats: 12" vinyl LP (black vinyl) -Sturdy 300gsm vinyl-sleeve with bronze pantone print -Vinyl insert -Double-sided A2 poster -Limited to 400 copies on black vinyl -CD jewelcase -8 page booklet

Following the primitive darkness of their 1996 debut EP Skogsgriftens rike, Swedish black metal cult Sorhin returned in 1997 with their first full-length, I det glimrande mörkrets djup. Recorded at Abyss Studio in November 1996, the album captures Sorhin at an early peak, raw, melodic and deeply rooted in the sinister spirit of the Swedish underground of the mid-to-late 90s. From the relentless opening of “Godhetens fall” to the haunting title track, Sorhin forged a sound of abrasive guitars, hypnotic melodies and uncompromising darkness, establishing the foundation for what would become one of the most revered Swedish black metal discographies of the era. I det glimrande mörkrets djup stands as a defining document of Sorhin’s early years and an essential piece of the northern Swedish black metal tradition.
