Varjevndogn

Description

Isengard was the solo project initially started in 1989 by Fenriz – one of the prime movers behind the Norwegian legend Darkthrone – because he had many musical ideas to explore that did not strictly fit in with the style and music of his main band. Under the Isengard name, Fenriz released two albums that encapsulated doom, death, black, and Folk/Viking metal in the shape of ‘Vinterskugge’ and ‘Høstmørke’. Finally, we welcome the third installment of this cult project. After a period of 25 long years since Isengard’s last studio output, and having recently unearthed a set of tracks from his own archives of material recorded during his glory days, this new set of tracks – once thought to be lost – follows on from some of the metal last heard on 1994’s ‘Vinterskugge’. ‘Vårjevndøgn’ is a monumental journey of epic heavy metal mixed with an often darker doom-laden rock/metal atmosphere, recalling acts such as US heavy metal veterans Pentagram.
