BLUT AUS NORD - Hallucinogen - 2xLP Vinyl (2019)

Blut Aus Nord have spent three decades systematically dismantling what black metal is supposed to sound like, and Hallucinogen, released in 2019, is them at their most psychedelically unhinged. Less war metal, more bad trip in a cathedral.

The vinyl edition matches the music in ambition. Neon purple and white merge vinyl that genuinely looks luminous, pressed as a double LP and housed in a gatefold sleeve inside a printed slipcase, with an etching on one side. It's the kind of release that justifies owning a turntable in the first place. Wvirtanen and the rest of the BAN collective have always understood that the physical object should feel like an extension of the work, and this one does. An essential slab of dark, progressive, industrial-tinged black metal for any serious collection.

2xLP neon purple and white merge vinyl, etched side, gatefold sleeve, printed slipcase. Origin: France. Genre: Avant-Garde / Psychedelic Black Metal.
