Album Description

Limited to 500 vinyl copies with side A, having a rehearsal recording from 1996, and side B containing various tracks from 1998. This is what you would call true collectors, hardcore Norwegian Black metal item, and it embraces all the great charismatic individual qualities that such a release owns.
On the 1996 side, the sound is muffled to the extent of how demo recordings generally are, but here we have a very audible and how I would describe as a true underground atmosphere. The tracks range from the fast to the creeping slow, with the fuzzy guitars meandering through simple arrangements. There is, as on the bands debut album, a
penchant for constructive songs that contain memorable riffs and are not afraid to use melody in place of blatant aggression.
Nidingr in 1996 were a cross between Satyricon and Burzum, set initially into that thoroughly enjoyable classic era of guitar blazing and vocal shredding snarls. Side B, 1998, two years later, and not much has changed. The guitars are thicker and the vocals less abrasive. Musically the band enters a Gehenna style groove where the harmonies flow across well fashioned arrangements that are both very accessible and smouldering with that Nordic atmosphere.
A drum machine is obviously used on a ridiculously fast track, which thankfully passes in the blink of an eye.
The rest is well executed Norwegian Black Metal.
There are no embryonic tracks that appeared on the impressive, Sorrow Infinite and Darkness, album, none that I could distinguish anyway. This album should be re-pressed on cd, as its better than most album proper releases I come across on my other scribing duties on Live4metal.com

It is now 2005 and finally Nidingr's debut album is out. The band started already in the year 1996 and after having released a rehearsal tape in 1996 and a demo in 1999 it became very silent around Nidingr. In the meantime Teloch, bass and guitars, joined Orcustus as a full-time member and also became the live-guitarist for the infamous Gorgoroth.

But as said, finally the debut album "Sorrow infinite and darkness" is out for sale and to be honest I've been looking forward to this album for a long time. My expectations therefore were very high. Immediately after the first listen I was hooked. Musically Nidingr combines cold Norwegian underground black metal with fast death metal. Bands which come up to my mind when listening Nidingr are for example new Satyricon, D�dheimsgard, some new Gehenna, some Blood Red Throne but especially newer Behemoth. Just like Behemoth also Nidingr knows how to combine good, fast and technical death metal without losing the very important black touch. Another important part in Nidingr's music is that it sounds really catchy without being cheesy. After having heard the album only once you'll be hooked and you'll crave for hearing the album over and over again. The sound on "Sorrow infinite and darkness" is also really good which makes it even more enjoyable. My personal favourite is "The watch-towers of the universe" which sounds cold and experimental and it gives me goosebumps all over. Especially this one sounds like newer Satyricon with an experimental, industrial-alike touch. Great!

Though to be honest there are really no weaker parts to be found on "Sorrow infinite and darkness" and anyone who isn't frightened by a little bit of experimental black metal will definately enjoy Nidingr. They dared to take experimental black metal up to a new level and did it with great success!
