Neogenesis Green Reflection (Tabu Recordings 2004)

  

Combining the influences from all over the place - Melodic Black Metal, Viking Metal, Progressive Rock and Ambient since those two old friends Ivar Bjornson and Grutle Kjellson being under the influence of Immortal demo tape. Establishing their own group - Enslaved (next) to be one of the most important bands of the Norwegian Extreme Metal scene since then; this Haugesund's Metalheads proudly releasing their simple titled album Isa with the line-up consisting of Ice Dale (guitars), Cato Bekkevold (bass) and Hebrand Larsen (keyboards, mellotron, piano, hammond) presenting the trademark eerie sounds of the Northern coldest winter and blistering frozen storm ready to captured and kill anyone lost or unfortunate of being trapped in the middle of it as victims. The power of Metal Progressive on Lunar Force or Ascension to Violent Dawning bursting the essential Black Metal classic type of music - brutal, dangerous and of course artistically dark with screaming vocals on the scary high pitch and the demolishing riffs ready to tearing your head aparts in minutes but the total assembly of melodic arrangements and creative mixes really helping to create the most cranking record with the magic taste of Pagan rites and Norse historic backgrounds as well as the infamous keyboard's play - excellent for accompanying us all for the burial ceremony of the ancient North as Isa album itself giving us more recognition to be a salutation for Viking heritage or warmly could concluded to bare within the dead body to proudly stepping into the next life in Valhalla.
