Still sealed original Black Lodge 2005press in digipak

Rutthna is a little known Swedish blackmetal band, whose name minus the letter `h´ means rot in Swedish.An oddly appropriate name considering the style of black metal theyplay. Rutthna´s music is a potent mixture of early Darkthrone(circa A Blaze In The Northern Sky) style frigid groove with veryunique epic touches. The songs range from grooving monstersreminiscent of Darkthrone´s In `The Shadow Of The Horns´ like thetitle track, to more melodic and depressive compositions like `TheFifth Angel´, or the atmospheric, slow burning fury of tracks like`Daughter Of Chaos´. The technical skill of this album issurprisingly high. Drummer Dennis Ekdahl keeps some veryinteresting rhythms, such as the odd galloping cymbals of `SeasonOf Huge Mortality´. Also noticeable is his lack of blasting; quiterefreshing in the age of endless speed and brutality. JoakimKristensson (better known from viking metallers Thyrfing) handlesthe rest of the instruments and vocals, playing some great riffs,full of passion and despair. Most noticeable might be the heartwrenching guitar work of `Daughter Of Chaos´, before it moves intoits apocalyptic death-march that fits the album so well. His basswork is also commendable. Simple, yet oftentimes refusing to followthe guitars, it creates some interesting counterpoint melodies thatwork quite effectively in constructing atmosphere. Vocally, hisperformance is above average, resembling a more brutal NocturnoCulto. However, the atmosphere of this album is what carries it.The compositions to be found on this album conjure images of thefour horsemen of the apocalypse riding towards Megiddo to conjurethe inevitable doom of humanity. Unrepentantly grim and dark, thesounds of this album are stunningly enveloping, as if trying tostrangle you with the inky blackness of their misanthropicmelodies. The production helps the album enormously in thisrespect: very lucid and balanced, with an enjoyable emphasis onbass that gives the compositions even more weight than they hadbefore. Overall, Rutthna´s debut album is a very promising startfor this young band. If they can shake off some of the heavyDarkthrone influences and consolidate their unique sounds, theymight be one of the best black metal bands in a few years. Aspectacular release for fans of black metal, be they raw ormelodic.
