Aghast from Norway released Hexerei im Zwielicht der Finsternis in 1995, roughly translating to "Witchery in the Twilight of Darkness", a title that couldn't be any more appropriate for these two sinister succubi. Aghast is composed of Andrea Nebelhexë Haugen and Tanja Nachthexe Stene, Andrea was once a wife to Samoth of Emperor and Tanja was married to Fenriz of Darkthrone. Another interesting note about this release, being their first and only album ever, was the fact that the microphone used in recording their vocal takes was the very same mic that Dead of Mayhem used before he committed suicide on April 8th in 1991. This album has an aura to it unlike any other, it captures a forgotten time period and exemplifies the authentic quality of the cold genuine craft of the witch. Purely a dark ambient record, these recordings act as a meditative sort of mantra that induce you into states of darkness that take you on a black journey into the mystic setting of an isolated nocturnal woodland rite. For anyone interested in occult audio and ritual based upon the kingdom of death and spirits.
