[font=courier new]A collector’s dream come true, ‘Traditional Doom Cult’ contains two rare and unreleased tracks from Darkthrone’s Fenriz under the Isengard banner, the iconic solo project of Darkthrone’s Fenriz, which was active from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s.
Tracks include ‘The Light’ – an early song recorded in 1989 – and ‘The Fright’ from the early 1990s. Both tracks bring to mind the doom-laden grooves (draped in darkness!) present on Isengard’s debut release, ‘Vinterskugge’.
The recordings were made at the legendary Necrohell studios with Fenriz responsible for all instruments and vocals. ‘Traditional Doom Cult’ contains liner notes from Fenriz explaining the background to the tracks.
Fenriz comments: ‘It’s been 20 years of questions about new stuff from Isengard, so I finally caved in: one song from 89 in the TRADITIONAL doom metal style and one more from 92ish that is more rockin’ in the black sabbath pentagram style with the vocal style i did for the “Our Lord Will Come” track for the first Isengard album. Enjoy!
