The beginnings of this blasphemous horde reach 1995 year, and “Vinum Intus” is the sixth album. But I will not prattle on introduction… because the cold darkness and black aggression blew from the beginning of album… and ill-boding shout unlocked the gates of Hells… The beast appeared and sowed a fear and a destruction… Suddenly a heat was rising and scented the air with sulphur… Well, the sharp and sulphuric guitars took possession of a space paving a place for demoniacal screams… I feel a lot of classicism of Black Metal here in Scandinavian style…

The whole material “Vinum Intus” was woven by aggressive guitars subjects, full of quick riffs and melodious “sixteens”… I adore this type of rhythm, when the guitars go mad or create slower riffs and the drums hit in slow rhythm. But very quick hits also does not lack here, which almost cause heart attack.

Moreover, the material are adorned by ornaments of keys and acoustic guitars deepening the atmosphere and making the music more majestic, more dark and in moments even deeply melancholy. The keys create background but sometimes also create climatic melodies. Similarly, the insertions of acoustic guitars bring nearer the whole in side of Pagan Metal. However when I heard the subject with true chorus then I reveled! This intervention brought many pathos raising the whole to rank of dark hymns. Despite these traces of “non-metal” – the album sounds very warlike and predatory… and the music is able to really tear on shreds… similarly like BURZUM, HADES and SATYRICON.

The music of “Vinum Intus” portrays the power and the majesty of Black Metal, and also shows the warriors painted by blood also have got feelings of anger, revolt but and of sadness, melancholy and nostalgia.
