Passage Beyond the Cold Vales of Desolation


Durthang is a raw depressive black metal band from Sweden formed in 2004, this is their first demo released that year titled Passage Beyond the Cold Vales of Desolation. The quality of this demo is very lo-fi and very raw as I bothered to mention, this won't be attractive to everyone, it will either be a hit or a miss depending on your sensibilities. On the right day and in the right mood this album can really take you places and allow you to drift into a bleak and morbid atmosphere. I had to have been listening to these guys right when they started out because it has literally been years now since I've known about this demo, but regardless it's worth introducing it...for the melancholic, apathetic, and isolated heart of solitude.
