This here is one of our most ambitious releases, and if you've been following our catalog, this is a culmination of sorts. It's essentially a mix of our death metal bands such as HEADS FOR THE DEAD, URSINNEand PAGANIZER, and it's only fair that NATTRAVNEN have members of most of them, backed with a terrific storyline concocted by ex-DEATH, ex-MASSACRE vocalist Kam Lee. You can preview one of the songs exclusively on Bandcamp HERE:

Original Death and Massacre vocalist Kam Lee gives one of his best performances here. NATTRAVNEN is about the legend of Night Raven, for which Kam has written an actual story, in addition to complete lyrics of the album. Jonny Petterson of HEADS FOR THE DEAD, WOMBBATH has created sublime music that is death metal laced with black metal and atmospheric doom elements, while being devastatingly heavy in his trademark style. Together the duo has concocted not only one of the most interesting death metal albums of this era, but also one with rare lasting value and superior musicianship. This is essentially dark death metal with better expression and scope. Juanjo Castellano of REVEL IN FLESH and CARNATION fame is responsible for the magnificent album artwork and even the label owner Kunal Choksi chipped in with the band logo. All in all, this is one of the most important releases to come out which sets new standards for the style altogether.
