Artist: THULETitle: Anthology 1995-1997Format: CDCountry: IcelandGenre: Black MetalRecord Label: Blackmetal. comDescription: The long-overdue "Official" CD release of the Pre- CURSE / FORTID / POTENTIAM mid-90"s recordings of Icelandic Black Metal pioneers THULE(!), who many of you should remember from the "Fire and Ice" compilation. This essential anthology excavates seminal tracks rescued from early recordings without alteration, faithful to the original mid-90"s Scandinavian Black Metal sound and atmosphere now copied by countless bands today-- with raw, utterly "cult" production, yet the spark and energetic aggression shines through via high-calibre songwriting and crushing ensemble execution.Tracklisting:[1997]1. Inn í eilífdina 2. Gud er lygi3. Thegar tunglid er fullt[1996]4. Í röngum heimi5. Ætt úlfa[1995]6. Trúfrelsi7. Rottur MP3+ BONUS TRACK [2007]8. CURSE - Thegar tunglid er fullt Review:Orthodox BM genius inspired by the early advances of classic EMPEROR, ENSLAVED, IMMORTAL, MAYHEM, KVIST, and DARKTHRONE, but also with preliminary hints of progressive icelandic elements that would later be fully developed in current CURSE and FORTID recordings.This Anthology CD includes tracks from the "Fire and Ice" compilation and THULE"s now-rare split [K7] with ASMODEUS. The last song on the album is actually a new recording by CURSE, a cover-version of one of THULE"s best! Raw, yet high-calibre Black Metal with unmistakeable genius!
