* Background info:

AZAGHAL's eighth album finds them once again brandishing their immediately identifiable brand of black metal like a weapon, one built of ultra-cold riffs, earthquaking drumming and sick vocal torments. Finnish black metal at its best.

The band was originally called BELFEGOR (Finland), and they released one demo 'The Ancient Gods of Evil' under that name. After that they split up, but reformed in 1997 as NARGOVENTOR. Soon after that they changed their name to AZAGHAL, which is a name of a dwarf king in TOLKIEN's mythology.

AZAGHAL also contributed to the ILDJARN Tribute 'Gathered Under the Banner of Strength and Anger' on Pestilence Records (now known as Target:Earth Productions) with the track 'Kulde / Skogens Hatefulle Skapning' (3:14).
