AASFRESSER Under the Black Scythe CD

Hailing from Germany, Aasfresser (German for Scavenger) is a prolific solo project that channels the raw, unpolished spirit of early 90s Black Metal. Originally released digitally in 2013, Under the Black Scythe was later given a definitive physical release on CD by the Spanish label A Fine Day To Die Records in 2019. This Extended Edition features the original tracklist along with four unreleased bonus tracks, bringing the total to 12 songs of grim, icy extremity. The music is a cold and anachronistic journey that blends raw, old-school Black Metal with subtle influences of Viking and Pagan metal. It is characterized by its high-pitched, rasping vocals, sharp tremolo picking, and a production style that balances primitive grit with a surprisingly epic atmosphere. Tracks like Lichter im Nebel and the title track evoke the frost-bitten aesthetics of early Norwegian icons like Bathory and Immortal, while maintaining a unique, bedroom-project charm that is common in the German underground. For those who value authenticity and a traditional approach to the black arts, Under the Black Scythe is a relentless and atmospheric document of pure metal devotion.
