SVARTSINN - 'Devouring Consciousness' CD (Eibon Records)
Brilliant debut album from this Norwegian legend, who has since released albums on Cyclic Law. Imagine a crossing between Amon and Lustmord, enriched with some dreadful melodies here and there. An orgy of bass frequencies, an apocalypse of drones, a black resounding monolith. A real find for those who love deep, dense Dark Ambient. Experience the depths, if you're brave enough. Digifile.
