Old "Dawn of darkness" CD

Formed in 2003, OLD exists for one reason: to keep the spirit of true black metal alive. No trends. No posturing. Just the raw, violent essence of the first wave: the era when metal was filthy, dangerous, and unclassified. Drawing from the primordial chaos of Hellhammer / Celtic Frost, the savage attack of Bathory, the venom of Mayhem’s Deathcrush, and the early thrash/death crossover of Sodom, Kreator, and Possessed, OLD deliver black metal the way it was meant to sound: feral, punk-driven, and full of reckless energy. After a long silence following their 2006 debut, OLD return with Dawn of Darkness. A 36-minute onslaught of seven tracks that feel less like a nostalgic tribute and more like a band possessed by forward-moving, untamed fury. This is first-wave worship with teeth. For fans of: Hellhammer, Bathory, Darkthrone (metal-punk era), Nifelheim, Sodom, early Kreator, Possessed
