Dodheimsgard - Satanic Art Dodheimsgard

THE 1998 RELEASE OF DARK & PSYCHOTIC EXTREMITY FROM THE NORWEGIAN BLACK METAL MASTERS, INCLUDING BONUS TRACKS

Norway's Dodheimsgard was formed in 1994 by Vicotnik & Aldrahn. The early incarnation was that of a raw & melodic black metal band, with their debut album also featuring Fenriz of Darkthrone on bass, before the poisons of a more schizophrenic concoction started to take hold.

One of the top bands & visionaries of the mid-90's Norwegian Black Metal evolution, DHG are widely hailed as masters of dark & psychotic psychedelia-tinged extremity. 'Satanic Art' was originally released in 1998 & is considered a significant turning point for the band, as the compositions became less traditional in their structure & delivery, & instead became far more abstract & twisted. Besides the duo of Vicotnik & Aldrahn, the line-up also featured members of other notable Norwegian acts such as Aura Noir & Fleurety, with studio work assistance from Garm of Ulver.

This edition of 'Satanic Art' includes 2 bonus tracks, in the form of 'Black Treasure' & an alternate rendition of 'Symptom', & is presented on black vinyl.
