Catalog Number: VILELP1113 Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 801056811318 THE DEBUT ALBUM OF EPIC NORWEGIAN HEAVY DOOM METAL CONSISTING OF APOLLYON (AURA NOIR), BESTIAL TORMENTOR (INFERNO), & DARKTHRONE'S FENRIZ ON VOCALS - PRESENTED ON LP & JEWEL CASE CD FORMAT, INCLUDING EIGHT PAGE BOOKLET . Norway's Coffin Storm is the new band consisting of a trio of Kolbotn veterans, with the line-up of Apollyon (Aura Noir/Lamented Souls) & Bestial Tormentor (Inferno/Lamented Souls) completed by Darkthrone's Fenriz on vocal duties. And so, the first fruits of their toil manifest in the form of debut album, 'Arcana Rising', with a sterling concoction of classic heavy metal, slow thrash & doom. The result is a torrent of rousing, accomplished titanic riffing commandeered by Fenriz's unmistakable vocal prowess as witnessed with his own Isengard project as well as multiple Darkthrone releases, with vocal inspiration summoned from bands such as Agent Steel. 'Arcana Rising' contains six sprawling metallic epics covering the 45-minute running time & was recorded at a variety of studios in the band's native Norway, with work originally commencing back to 2021. With production overseen by Apollyon himself, 'Arcana Rising' truly channels & encapsulates the spirit of the 80's, with inspiration from such masters of metal as Candlemass, Pentagram, Metallica & early Kreator, with musical nods to early Paradise Lost & Cathedral from the more extreme side of the doom spectrum, as well as including traces of the DNA from Apollyon & Bestial Tormentor's own prior work together with their cult doom act Lamented Souls, to create a sensational & majestic opus. Mastering work was completed by Jack Control at Enormous Door (Darkthrone) & cover art appears courtesy of Polish artist Maciej Kamuda.
