OLD WAINDS
Religion of Spiritual Violence

NORTHTRIP AMONG THE STORMS…

Active since 1995 and with 5 previous full-lengths under their belts, Russian OLD WAINDS are back on the frozen field.

Picking up where they left off with their previous album, the predominantly fast-paced “Stormheart” reveals itself as ice-cold, yet melancholic and introspective at the same time. Driven by stunning guitar work, completely devoid of unnecessary gimmicks and vocals slightly distorted, OLD WAINDS delivered one of the best Black Metal albums of the last couple of years.

Mastered by Jack Control and Maor Appelbaum.

Dark Nordic Metal from the icy wastes of Murmansk.

Grim, cold and majestic as it should be…

Grim, barbaric, ice-cold blackness from beyond the Arctic Circle.

Murmansk is a Russian city situated north of the Arctic Circle near the Norwegian and Finnish borders. It’s not only notorious for its extremely harsh and long winters but also for being home to one of Russia’s oldest and most significant Black Metal bands – OLD WAINDS.
Arisen from the icy plains in 1995, founder Morok aided by a variety of members throughout the horde’s 30 years of existence managed to produce a remarkable discography. Unaffected by fleeting fashion and with disregard for public exposure three demos, one split album with NAV and five full length albums filled to the brim with barbaric hymns of no-nonsense Black Metal were up to this point spawned under the banner of OLD WAINDS.

Hot on the heels of OLD WAINDS’ latest album Stormheart on Darkness Shall Rise we are extremely thrilled to hereby present long overdue reissues of some glorious titles of their early catalogue.

Some old fanatics who revered OLD WAINDS’ first two albums for their unadulterated savagery were initially taken aback by Scalding Coldness.
It’s on Scalding Coldness that their compositions are presented with a proper studio production for the first time. Although considerably cleaner and therefore less bestial than previous efforts, Scalding Coldness is basically a logical continuation of Religion of Spiritual Violence. Clocking in at over 40 minutes their third full length consists of eight proficiently composed tracks of hateful coldness. Despite the material being boosted by a pro production and the introduction of more melody, Scalding Coldness bears the distinct OLD WAINDS mark and is a mandatory acquisition

Where the Snows are Never Gone… was followed by a 2nd demo before Religion of Spiritual Violence would be unleashed upon the unworthy masses in 2002. Comprising of titles and lyrics entirely in Cyrillic their second album is undoubtedly several steps up in terms of song-writing and production. By and large continuing the trajectory of their previous efforts, OLD WAINDS on Where the Snows are Never Gone… present material more refined and versatile while still retaining the barbaric edge of its predecessors.

Often mistakenly considered a second demo tape, Where the Snows are Never Gone…, conceived and released in 1997, is OLD WAINDS’ first full-length album. The eight songs whose titles and lyrics apart from the opener are all written in Cyrillic show the band at their most barbaric and unhinged. Musically following in the footsteps of early Norwegian classics, the material sees these mad savages annihilating everything in their way. Those inhuman vocals must also rank among the most insane and hate-filled ever.
