SATANIC WARMASTER: To Release New Album Through HELLS HEADBANGERS
January 27, 2015
At long last, the Warmaster returns! For the past 15 years,Satanic Warmasterhas remained a highly revered name in the black metal underground: seemingly doing no wrong with converts, but forever riling detractors. Helmed by the tyrant Werwolf - whose involved in the black metal scene stretches back 20-some years, as the original vocalist of Horna -Satanic Warmasterhave released classic album after classic album, from early essentials likeStrength and HonourandOpferblutto relatively more recent monuments likeCarelian Satanist MadnessandNachzehrer, and always at their own pace. Longtime supporters of the band,HellsHeadbangers(in conspiracy with Werewolf Records) is proud to handle the worldwide release ofSatanic Warmaster's fifth album,Fimbulwinter, set for international release on April 7th on CD, LP, and cassette tape formats.
It's been five long years sinceNachzehrer, and although the band's been busy with a handful of 7" EPs and splits in the interim,Fimbulwinteris the first full-length to documentSatanic Warmaster'sdevelopment during that time. Highly anticipated to say the very least,Fimbulwintersees the band expanding into more epic 'n' triumphant waters, but ones that are icier than ever. One could say it's a travelogue across bothSatanic Warmaster's now-vast discography and also across the history of classic '90s black metal. Granted, the band have largely shaped the paradigm of modern Finnish black metal - itself one of the most prolific and immediately identifiable in the world - but forever an iconoclast AND purist,Satanic Warmasterhas the innate ability to take well-worn tropes and shape them to his own, diabolic design. Bolstered by full-bodied production - by far, the best the band have had to date - and a further integration of mystical, night-sky synths,Fimbulwinteris a fresh blast of ancient, mildewed stench. Feel the force ofFimbulwinterand submit to its majesty! Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
