Debut album from 1991 by the Swedish THERION and one of the standout releases of the first generation of Scandinavian Death Metal. “Of Darkness...” finds Christofer Johnsson's band at its most extreme and straightforward, delivering a dark and crushing Death Metal assault deeply rooted in the classic Swedish sound of the early 1990s.
With heavy riffs, sinister atmospheres and relentless aggression, the album has become a genuine classic of Swedish Death Metal. Although THERION would later achieve worldwide recognition through its symphonic and experimental evolution, “Of Darkness...” remains an outstanding document of the band's brutal origins and an essential piece of early European Death Metal.
Recommended for fans of ENTOMBED, NIHILIST, GRAVE and UNLEASHED.
