Hell and damnation! THRONE OF KATARSIS are the big surprise-act of this year so far! I haven’t heard anything from these two Norwegian guys so far. And now the masters Vardalv (Drums) and Grimnisse (rest of the instruments) throw an unbelievable convincing piece of Black Metal art made in Norway among our ears. You can find five songs with a running time of 55 minutes on An Eternal Dark Horizon. THRONE OF KATARSIS have created songs which are full of details, breathe much dark atmosphere and simply will inspire every fan of ancient, original Norwegian Black Metal. In songs like Funeral Moonlight or Under Guds Hud there are all elements good Norwegian Black Metal is about. A charismatic, hateful voice, which remembers a little bit to Attila (Mayhem), uncontrollable fury, malicious atmospheric parts and of course a dirty production which doesn’t sound like a rehearsal recording. On An Eternal Dark Horizon time seems to stand still at the latest back in 1994. I would like to compare this album to the old records of Emperor, Satyricon or Mayhem. Nevertheless THRONE OF KATARSIS are a good alternative in this year 2007 within this genre to the old bands permanent looking for musical progress, just because they have cultivated the ancient spirit of the Norwegian Black Metal. But they’re not just a copy of their idols. THRONE OF KATARSIS are the musical revelation for all those who still want the second wave of Black Metal from the beginning of 1990s back in business! The ancient spirit lives!!!
