MUNDANUS IMPERIUM - Ode To The Nightsky LP (Purple Vinyl)

There was a great Era of Norwegian Atmospheric and Symphonic Black Metal from 1994 to 1997. At least, in my opinion, those were the blooming years. Classic releases from bands like Emperor, Covenant, Arcturus and Gehenna, and many others, were released upon the hungry black metal crowds.

Among the smaller jewels of this style was Mundanus Imperium. A couple of years before they released their quite interesting full length album which sounded like a mixture between their original style, progressive metal and classic hard rock, there was this EP. A 16 minute trip into Nordic melancholy and longing.
