About the album

Emerging from the deep abyss of the Swedish metal scene in 1995, NIFELHEIM's self-titled debut is an unfiltered shot of raw energy and ferocity that unapologetically dismisses the prevailing trends of its time. Born during an era saturated with polished black metal, NIFELHEIM stood apart by rejecting the genre's mainstream direction. The album is a testament to their dedication to old-school black metal roots, characterized by relentless riffs and fierce vocal deliveries that echo with primal intensity.

The record opens with "Black Curse," setting the tone for an album that’s both visceral and engaging. Tracks like "Sodomizer" and "Satanic Sacrifice" encapsulate the raw essence that NIFELHEIM is celebrated for—fast-paced tempos intertwined with chaotic but meticulously crafted guitar solos. The album's production captures the band’s live energy, ensuring that every note hits with full impact. Complemented by demonic shrieks and bone-crushing drums, this release remains a cornerstone in black metal history.
