Limited 180gm green and clear colored vinyl LP pressing. Forhist is the latest incarnation of Vindsval, the faceless entity behind the legendary Blut Aus Nord. Inspired by the '90s Norwegian Black Metal scene, Forhist is a solitary walk in deep woods, an echo of the past, a return to the spiritual womb from which darkness first emerged. Eschewing experimentation, 'avant-gardism', the progressive and the dissonant, Forhist is purely a raw, intimate and poetic black metal act: a haunted dreamworld of harmonious yet savage riffs, deftly melodic leads, vocal malevolence, mystical choirs, escapist acoustics, perfectly-judged drumming and neo-gothic synth, all elevated by the inimitable mark of this composer-auteur. With entrancing cohesion, Forhist celebrates the wonderous nostalgia of initiation into the dark arts, exposing the roots of one of the most anomalous protagonists in black metal's history.
