TSJUDER Demonic Possession Vinyl (2002)

Norwegian black metal was never trying to make friends. Tsjuder made sure of it.

Released in 2002, Demonic Possession is Tsjuder operating at full feral velocity, a record that treats melody as an afterthought and punishment as a genre. Where some of their countrymen were edging toward atmospherics, Tsjuder stayed ugly and fast, channelling early Darkthrone nihilism through a thrash-informed blender. It's a minor classic in the Norwegian black metal canon, the kind of album that still sounds like it was recorded somewhere inconvenient. If your shelves already hold Taake, Carpathian Forest or Nattefrost, this is not a gap you should be leaving open.
