THE THIRD ALBUM OF UNRELEASED VINTAGE CULT METAL FROM THE CLASSIC SOLO PROJECT CREATED BY DARKTHRONE'S FENRIZ

Isengard was the solo-project initially started in 1989 by Fenriz - one the key driving forces behind Norwegian legends Darkthrone - because he had many musical ideas to explore that didn't strictly fit in with the style & music of his main band. Under the Isengard moniker, Fenriz released 2 albums encapsulating doom, death, black & Folk/Viking metal in the shape of 'Vinterskugge' & 'Høstmørke', with ‘Vårjevndøgn' added to this line of influential work upon its release in 2020.

After a period of 25 long years since Isengard’s last studio output & with the unearthing of a set of tracks from his own archive of material recorded back in those early glory days, this series of tracks - which were thought to be lost - follow on from some of the metal last heard in 1994’s ‘Vinterskugge’.

‘Vårjevndøgn’ is a monumental journey of epic heavy metal mixed with an often more sombre doomy rock/metal atmosphere bringing to mind bands like US heavy metal veterans Pentagram, & also includes 2 tracks which had featured on the limited ‘Traditional Doom Cult’ 7” Peaceville release from 2017.

Everything on ‘Vårjevndøgn’ was performed & engineered by Fenriz himself. The tracks were all recorded between 1989 & 1993 using the infamous Necrohell Studios, notable for recording Darkthrone’s classic ‘Transilvanian Hunger’ & ‘Panzerfaust’ albums.

‘Vårjevndøgn’ was mastered by Jack control at Enormous Door.

The booklet includes liner notes from Fenriz explaining the origins of the release, the recording process, & some background into his influences at the time.
