{"product_id":"solefald-the-linear-scaffold-1997-cd","title":"SOLEFALD The Linear Scaffold (1997) CD","description":"\u003cp\u003e1997 was a strange and fertile moment in Norwegian black metal, when a handful of artists looked at the genre's rigid orthodoxy and decided to see how far they could bend it before it broke. Solefald bent it further than most.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Linear Scaffold is a debut record that arrived with almost no precedent, pairing the cold atmospherics of Norwegian black metal with avant-garde song structures, unexpected melodic turns, and a literary sensibility that sat awkwardly next to everything else on the shelves. Cornelius and Lazare weren't playing by the genre's rules, and the black metal underground wasn't entirely sure what to do with them. Decades on, the album reads as a genuine outlier, the kind of record that influenced a lot of music that would come later without ever quite being replicated. This 2008 repress keeps it in circulation for good reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat: CD, jewel case. Originally released 1997, this pressing 2008. Norwegian black metal, avant-garde. Tracklisting includes Fluorescent (The Total Orchestra) and additional tracks across the full-length runtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFans of: Arcturus, Fleurety, Ved Buens Ende, Borknagar, Ulver (Nattens Madrigal era).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALT CVLT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45550308065471,"sku":"8033224110219","price":24.66,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/3633\/0175\/files\/original_396521f2-1796-41f4-9628-a4df46c5b805.jpg?v=1777074856","url":"https:\/\/www.alt-cvlt.com.au\/products\/solefald-the-linear-scaffold-1997-cd","provider":"ALT CVLT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
