Extreme black metal from Wroclaw, Poland by Robert ‘Rob Darken’ Fudali.. They released six demos between January 92 to 94. The fifth demo ‘In The Glare Of Burning Churches’ from May 1993 was released on cd in 1996 with two bonus tracks. This demo reminds more than anything else of Ildjarn in the fetid, black organic earthiness of its production. The musicianship is barbaric and loose, the riffing malevolent, insectile and thuggish. Drumming is simplistic and extremely plodding, almost sounding like the coming of war. Bass guitar? Where? Darkens use of extremely sinister sounding keyboards compliment this album immensely. In fact, just about the only thing to connect this record with Darken’s latterday gleaming epics is the presence of his bizarre, instantly-recognisable vocal rasp. This is some of the most genuinely, terrifyingly ‘grim’ black metal you are likely to hear.
