I'm not sure why these blasphemous Swedes didn't make more of a splash back in '97 with this killer effort. I guess all the cool kids were listening to HammerFall... pity. Midvinter, on their only release to date, display a keen ability to produce truly Satanic Swedish Black Metal. It has all the trademark Swedish Black Metal calling cards of evil, demons, obscure cosmically inspired apocalyptic vision, and good old Swede melodies. But don't get me wrong... this album is LEGIT. And, for a debut it really seemed immensely promising. Oh well, we'll never know what could have been... Fans of Dissection, Sacramentum, and even the mighty Emperor would be wise to have a listen.
Bonus!
If you play the album backwards while standing on your head and watching The Exorcist you will hear a hidden message between the band members:
"Hey, Kheeroth"
"What's up Damien?"
"Is that the Apocalypse Dragon over there?"
"Yeah...we're all fucked"
"Cool"
