Helheim (NOR) - Jormundgand - CD

For the 30th anniversary we are proud to present you this special edition of HELHEIMs classic debut-album Jormundgand in various formats. In 1995, only one year after their second demo, HELHEIM’s eponymous debut album Jormundgand made its appearance. Marked by its nearly eight-minute title track, it immediately establishes a powerful presence with sharp drums, piercing guitars, intense musicianship, and a distinct vocal performance reminiscent of early screams of Count Grishnackh. The track “Jormundgand” stands as a defining moment in Black Metal, encapsulating the band’s epic style and Norwegian roots. However, it’s the consistent quality and cohesion of the entire album that truly cements its legendary status. Although musically and thematically still drawing inspiration from early ENSLAVED “Jormundgand” is far from being a carbon copy of said band. Even thirty years after its release, “Jormundgand” retains its raw power and enduring energy, solidifying its place as a classic in the Black Metal genre. Recorded in the legendary Grieghallen Studio, this album is still a living witness of a time full of awakening, rebellion, creativity and nordic coldness. A truly timeless creation released exactly 30 years ago and which has lost none of its hseer power nor energy. Remastered by Patrick W. Engel at Temple of Disharmony.
