Norwegian black metal institution URGEHAL rise up once more with their new, and final album 'Aeons In Sodom'. In honor of deceased band leader Trondr Nefas, the band assembled his final material into one last misanthropic blast from the Nordic abyss.
When Trondr Nefas sadly passed away of natural causes at the age of 34 on May 13th in 2012 this also sealed the end of URGEHAL. Out of friendship, respect and as a tribute to their late singer and guitarist, the Norwegians decided to go ahead with producing a final album. Half of the material on 'Aeons in Sodom' was written by Trondr with the other half contributed by guitarist Enzifer. URGEHAL invited close friend and band mates from other projects of Nefas to contribute and those honoured in this way all joined to pay homage.
Nefas' masochistic screams are too unique to replace, so the band have enlisted the services of venerable Scandinavian metal scene icons to contribute vocals. Featuring the unique vocals and personas of Nocturno Culto (DARKTHRONE), Nattefrost (CARPATHIAN FOREST), Nag (TSJUDER), Niklas Kvarforth (SHINING), Hoest (TAAKE), Mannevond (KOLDBRANN) and more, 'Aeons in Sodom' is a fitting testament to Nefas' legacy and monument to the origins and purity of True Norwegian Black Metal.
