CREST OF DARKNESS My Ghost CD

The vampires of the Norwegian scene are back! Led by the legendary Ingar Amlien (ex-Conception), Crest of Darkness returns in 2024 with My Ghost, their most personal and sinister work to date. Released via My Kingdom Music, this album is a masterclass in Extreme Metal, blending the cold aggression of Black Metal with the dark, heavy grooves of Death and Gothic Black Metal. After over 25 years in the shadows, the band proves they are still at the top of their game, delivering a record that feels both modern and deeply rooted in the classic Norwegian aesthetic. The album opens with the title track My Ghost, immediately setting a haunting tone with its razor-sharp riffs and Ingar’s unmistakable, gravelly vocals. Tracks like Infected and the blasphemous The Will of God showcase the band’s ability to balance raw speed with atmospheric tension. For those who love the ritualistic side of the night, Call of the Moon and Satanic provide a mid-tempo, occult-driven energy that is impossible to ignore. As the journey continues through the violent Sacrificed to the Sun and the epic The Awakening, the production remains crisp yet punishingly heavy. The final sequence, featuring Under My Spell and the closing revelation of The Ultimate Truth, leaves no doubt that Crest of Darkness remains a cornerstone of the underground. This CD is a mandatory acquisition for fans of Mayhem, Cradle of Filth (early era), and Ancient. My Ghost is a testament to the enduring power of darkness, preserved in a high-quality physical edition for the true acolytes of the Norwegian sound.
