All Watain items

Clawing their way out of the Black Metal underground yet firmly remaining a part of it since their founding in 1998, the Swedes have become a major player in the dark genre. WATAIN established themselves as a phenomenon of most sinister kind as soon as their 7'' EP entitled "The Essence of Black Purity" was released in 1999.
WATAIN's acclaimed debut "Rabid Death's Curse" followed only a year later in 2000. The trio from Uppsala immediately gained a massive following by their merciless devotion and intense live rituals imbued with blood, fire and magic.
Expectations soared when WATAIN entered the Necromorbus studios once more in June 2003 to record their second full-length "Casus Luciferi", which has been composed over a period of three years. "Casus Luciferi" proudly unleashed the horrifying glory of the true, dangerous and by many shunned Black Metal legacy, without a hint of irony, doubt or uncertainty.
Even more praise than already before was heaped upon the musical extremists after releasing "Sworn to the Dark" in 2007. This album proved to be another stepping stone in their steeply rising career and saw the band teaming up with Season of Mist for the first time in several countries. At the time WATAIN regarded "Sworn to the Dark" to be an immense discharge of magic and death that marked the release as an ultimate Black Metal monolith.
Yet another three years went by, in which WATAIN prepared to surpass their own achievements. With the hellishly seductive "Lawless Darkness", the Swedes shed another snake skin to reveal an eerie beauty underneath.
