On today's episode of old Norwegian black metal you might have missed even when you thought you had listened to everything, the host's suggestion looks into a lesser known band with not a lot of releases but a hell of a lot of wit.
Perished from Hommelvik, only put two full length albums out, a couple of demos and a couple of neat EPs, with Seid being the final but most complete work. In the vein of early Enslaved, Gehenna and Hades, there's even distant death metal riffs sometimes and a good dose of folk / pagan parts.
By members of Bloodthorn, Wurdulak, musicians who played in the band later found spots in other bands after Perished broke up, doing live sessions for the likes of Ragnarok and Whoredom Rife.
LP re-release of Seid soon on Dusktone, as it has been out of print for about a decade.
Track listing:
1. Storm of Fall Delight
2. Dance of the Elves
3. On Wings of Desire
4. As Water Turns to Ice
5. Forged to Bloodshed
