Nortt released this particular demo in October of 1998, Døden is slightly different than the average Nortt album, the main reason being the vocals featured here are whispered throughout and never does he exceed beyond this point. Furthermore, the production of this demo has a unique sort of dryness to it that is both hypnotizing as well utterly lifeless. Nortt is handled by one man, a Mr. Nortt from Denmark, perfecting his self proclaimed style of "pure depressive black funeral doom metal" throughout the years. The three bleak songs here, excluding the synth introduction, paint a bleak portrait of a dead landscape littered with tombstones in the autumn cold. In my personal opinion I give credit to Nortt for his sheer ability to drain the listener of all vitality and energy as opposed to the opposite. The time period this took place in, as well as the pure necrotic haze this demo offers, is reason enough for me to suggest this...
