Urgehal’s Aeons of Sodom. Guitarist and lead singer Trond “Trondr Nefas” Bråthen passed away of natural causes back in 2012 (seems like a strange cause of death for a 34-year old, but we’ll leave that aside for the moment), and happened to leave behind enough riffs for the band to put toward one last release.
Urgehal gathered a Norwegian Black Metal Justice League of stand-ins to take his place: Nocturno Culto (Darkthrone), M. Shax (Endezzma), Hoest (Taake), Niklas Kvarforth (Shining), Sorath Northgrove (Beastcraft/Vulture Lord), Nattefrost (Carpathian Forest), Nag (Tsjuder), Bay Cortez (Sadistic Intent) and R.M (Angst Skvadron). In theory, this makes for a potentially earth-shattering display of black metal brilliance.
A Black Metal beast!!!
