Description

2009 digipak release

Following the release of The True Legend, a largely underrated album as a result of its horrible sound (back in the 1990’s), Svartsyn went into oblivion until the 21st century. And in 2003, they released a gem called Destruction Of Man. Those looking for an evolved version of black metal had best steer clear of this album. Destruction Of Man, from any point of view, raises high the banner of black metal in its strict definition. It’s absolutely merciless and raw, yet surprisingly manages to avoid any real buzz in the guitar sound. Some might argue that this album belongs in the 1990’s and should never have been released afterwards, but this is not true by any means. This band deserves credit for playing Black Metal in its pure evilness and absence of flexibility. It sticks to the legacy of the albums that once defined the above-mentioned style and still succeed in offering something personal. Svartsyn have their own riffing and atmosphere and do not imitate anyone else. This is clearly mirrored on Destruction Of Man
