COVENANT: In Times Before The Light double LP

(2 x vinyl, gatefold sleeve, classic symphonic BM)

Clear vinyl, limited to 250 copies!

Featuring Nagash of Troll and Dimmu Borgir fame, Covenant remain one of the 90s most loved symphonic black metal bands. This, their 1997 debut album, is a raw offering with parallels to the likes of Dimmu's Stormblast album and Satyricon's Dark Medieval Times. Rough but memorable guitars, plenty of keyboards, plenty of darkness, strong drumming and harsh vocals. Iconic work.

From their influential and successful beginnings as a raw and grim black metal outfit established during the ongoing swelling of the “second wave” in the early-mid 1990s, Dødheimsgard has subsequently evolved into a truly eclectic behemoth with each landmark release; a band now undoubtedly adorned with the mastery of mood and texture through intricate, dark metallic wonderment and unnerving eloquence.
 
Black Medium Current continues on the path set by 2015’s monumental and universally lauded A Umbra Omega album; itself a deeply poignant and potent release of vast maturity and insight. And now mastermind Yusaf ‘Vicotnik’ Parvez returns with an absorbing exploration through the fragility of the mind - nurtured and ultimately unmade through a process of belief and endless turmoil and contradiction, and how it sews itself into our reality.
 
‘Black Medium Current’ also represents a very personal album for Vicotnik, riding the torrents of tribulation and loss, lusciously entwined within creation. Haunting, cathartic and exquisite moments of reflection, dissected, and presented as a meticulously woven canvas of masterful and stirring music taking in a whole host of atmospheres and soundscapes encompassing the divine and the bizarre, from the depths of black metal, to sombre more classically centred piano pieces.
 
Black Medium Current was recorded and mixed at Top-Room Studios by Matias Aaversen, and produced by Vicotnik himself, with cover art courtesy of Łukasz Jaszak.
