Obtained Enslavement - Centuries of Sorrow (1994)


Previously on OPIUM HUM:
Obtained Enslavement - Witchcraft (1997)

Pure old school Norwegian black metal. The band's first LP, Centuries of Sorrow contains few symphonic elements when compared to Witchcraft -- an organ here, some canned strings there -- instead taking a rawer approach centered on blown-out guitars and ghostly, reverb-drenched vocals.

Track listing:
1. Desecration of My Soul
2. As I Slowly Fade
3. Dark Holiness
4. Symbolic
5. Unblessed
6. Haze of Knowledge
7. Centuries of Sorrow
8. Pure
9. ... Sorrow

I am the face of the sky
