"Its [Djevelens Verk] middle is, typing this with zero intended hyperbole, heartfelt" - comments Invisible Oranges. "That's when Eldur's howls go clean. He presents himself as your equally world-weary avatar, a willing sponge if you're over-saturated by hopelessness. Notes, last time: "It's the wishing well Green Carnation, swelling with endless elasticity." The build-up leads into a crescendo constructed of an Arcturus-ian celestial essence that, somehow, remains earthy. Again, contrasts. Counter-balances. Den Saakaldte are what they are in the moment you hear them. "Djevelens verk"? Maybe their best. Until the next song starts, one guesses".
DEN SAAKALDTE steps out of the shadows after five long years of strengthening their dark musical identity and defining a more grim musical approach. Built upon intense and heavy emotions and featuring members of Gorgoroth, 1349, Koldbrann and Nidingr, "Kapittel II: Faen i Helvete" feels as the band's most complete work to date. The album combines doom and black metal elements with clean vocals, spoken parts and obscure atmosphere.
