Most prominent member of this band is for sure Trish, who plays drums in ELÄNDE, I think some people know her through a lot of bands and projects such as DödsÄngel, Djevelkult or Skitliv. Besides ELÄNDE, she actually plays for example in Urarv, an avantgarde black metal band in which Aldrahn, well known through Dodheimsgard /DHG, does vocals and guitars. But enough of that namedropping, I only mentioned this to point out that ELÄNDE consists of well-experienced scenesters and musicians.
"Dödens rike" is a really great traditional black metal release, and should be a listening pleasure for all people who like traditional stuff in the vein of norwegian classics such as (old) Darkthrone, Gorgoroth, Svartavlheim-era Ancient, the german Graven, or Swedish bands such as the great Throne of Ahaz. So you see, it's a good mix of the best black metal has to offer! ELÄNDE are raw, but not too raw, they use melodies,but not too much as well. The band varies in tempo, there are of course some highspeed parts, but also a lot of mid-tempo and some slow parts, which causes some kind of dynamic, so listening never becomes boring.
You see, I'm really impressed-in my opinion the best black metal record 2018 yet. The CD is released by Craneo Negro Records, you can buy it through Iron Bonehead as well.
