In the world of black metal Svartsyn are somehow overlooked by many, why this is is beyond me. Their split with Arckanum is one of the best and most essential splits in black metal history and some of their early albums are almost defining albums that set the tone for the Swedish scene around the millennium switch, deeply hooked into the old and steady pillars of true Black Metal. Their 2000 album His Majesty, features some chaotic storm of ice cold riffing. His Majesty successfully manage to take the rawness of early 90s Scandinavian black metal and combine it with rather technical guitars and pummeling blast beats to give the heavy thrash edge. Highly recommended to anyone who is into occultic and Satanic black metal. Particularly in these days of Orthodox black metal bands, Svartsyn stand as something much more real and primal though in a similar vein. If you like Arckanum or the earlier Norwegian and Swedish bands this album should be for you.
