STRIBORG Black Desolate Winter / Depressive Hibernation CD (2005)

Tasmania has always felt like the end of the world. Sin Nanna knew that, and he made it his instrument.

Striborg is one of Australia's most singular black metal entities, a one-man project from the island state's dense, lightless bush that predates the country's current experimental black metal wave by years. This compilation brings together Black Desolate Winter and Depressive Hibernation, two essential early records that define the lo-fi, misanthropic, ambient-black metal space Striborg carved out entirely alone. Raw production, suffocating atmosphere, and a genuine sense of isolation that no studio polish could manufacture. Australian made, Australian bleak.

Format: CD compilation. Genre: experimental black metal, depressive black metal, dark ambient.

Fans of: Burzum, Xasthur, Abruptum, Leviathan.
