2011, Weird Forest
VINYL FORMAT. Mastered by Pete Swanson and comes in a beautiful full-color deluxe gatefold vinyl edition limited to 500 copies.
The legendary Finnish black metal project returns at last with its first full-length album in years! Dead Reptile Shrine has always been uncomfortably slotted in the black metal genre, but The Sun of Circles and Wood encapsulates all aspects of the Dead Reptile Shrine sound: primitive riffs, ambient synth pieces, droning backdrops, snarled vocals, plaintive cries, Satanic chants—the works. But this album isn't a celebration of darkness; it's a portrait of a soul being torn apart by both dark and light elements. The poor listener is dropped down a well, left to wallow in the stench of the soul's filthy excrement—the pain alleviated only by scant glimpses of light at the top of the well that seems so far, far away.
