NIFELHEIM
Unholy death - TS L

After having caused a great stir with their self-titled debut, on Devil`s Force from 1998 the swedish savages don`t stray one inch from their path.
NIFELHEIM`s second full-length picks up the smouldering rubble from the debut and takes their unmistakable style up a notch.
Aided by a slightly fuller but still gritty production, the album is a bludgeoning beast of dirty metal infused with lethal doses of satanic insanity.
Filled to the brim with memorable songs Devil`s Force is yet again an outright success and an indispensable underground-classic.

A very in-depth interview with Tyrant and Hellbutcher highlighting the early days of the band until their last opus „Envoy Of Lucifer“ was also conducted for these reissues.

Inspired by hatred and some of the vilest and darkest Metal of the 80s, Sweden`s most demented twins, Hellbutcher and Tyrant, came up with their only demo Unholy Death, spawned in hell in 1993.

Although the tracks immortalized on this demo are poorly recorded and rather amateurishly performed they already and unmistakenly bear some of the trademarks the band would come to be worshipped for. Hellbutcher`s insane, utterly
possessed screams and their songwriting talent and sense for melody turn the demo into a must-have not only for loyal worshippers of the band but for anyone into early SODOM, early BATHORY or TREBLINKA.

Especially for this compilation, NIFELHEIM unearthed several gems from their archive which turn this release into something truly extraordinary:
On top of the 4 songs from the demo-tape this compilation features 4 other original songs, 2 intros and 2 covers (MOTÖRHEAD and BATHORY) from the same recording-session.
In total, Unholy Death consists of 12 titles with a running time of almost 40 minutes.

NIFELHEIM`s self-titled debut from 1995 has rightfully garnered the band much praise in the underground.
Spawned at a time when myriads of bands were hopping on the bandwagon of nice black metal with cheesy keyboards and female vocals, this slab of abrasive old-school metal felt like a much-needed bold Fuck you.

Aptly titled songs like “Black curse”, “Sodomizer” or “Satanic Sacrifice” relentlessly grab for the throat.
NIFELHEIM`s amalgam of pummeling riffs occassionally interspersed with wailing solos, the vocalist`s demented shrieks resembling a rabid animal and the barbarous pounding drums make for one hell of a timeless debut.

Now, after almost 30 years since this mean masterpiece was initially brought forth from the bowels of hell it sees its long-overdue re-releases.
