Keep of Kalessin - Agnen - A Journey Through The Dark - LP COLORED

Following on from the band’s 1997 debut, ‘Through Times Of War’, Keep of Kalessin’s sophomore release, ‘Agnen’, presented eight tracks of hyper-speed dark & epic black metal at its best, incorporating elements of thrash along with eerie discordant riffing in a relentless storm of brutality. The band’s themes were inspired by The Earthsea Quartet, the fantasy created by respected American writer Ursula K. Le Guin; an ancient world of magic & conflict between darkness & light.

Keep Of Kalessin was originally formed by Obsidian C. (also known for his work with Satyricon) & Ghash in Trondheim, Norway in 1994, with the band achieving significant success in the black & extreme metal scene throughout their thirty-year existence. Agnen was recorded at Brygga Studios, Trondheim (The 3rd & The Mortal) in October/November 1998.

This edition of ‘Agnen: A Journey Through The Dark’ marks twenty-five years since its original release & is presented on limited green vinyl.
