This is one of the more accessible recordings by Swedish cultband Abruptum. It collects the two demotapes that were released in 1990, Abruptum and The Satanist Tunes, and the Evil 7" single released in 1991. What sets this collection apart from their other albums is the fact that here we have
more of a standard length of the tracks. Only one of the tracks on this album is longer than five minutes, as opposed to the later 25 and even 61 minute tracks.
The sound on this recording is a bit murky, despite the fact that the tracks were remastered for this release.
The music is more to the slow and heavy side, with some noisy parts. The album has a rather ritualistic feel to it, due to the murky sound mentioned earlier, and the fact that all the lyrics are in latin only adds to this feeling. There really isn't anything out there that sounds quite like Abruptum.
Mostly this sounds like Death / Doom Metal a la early 1990ies, but with it's own special edge to it.
In a way the cold feeling of this album reminds me of Ancient's first album Svartalvheim,
although musically these two albums are not at all alike.
