Full descriptions and tracklistings below:
Poison Pure Suicide - Emblematic to the atavistic atmosphere of the early black metal scene, this debut EP contains four tracks of aural, animalistic and unorthodox black metal with occult themes. Highlighted with some very interesting leads and arrangements, this cracking debut is countered with the bizarre psychedelic trappings of an overheated black mass. A must have for fans of early Scandinavian black metal.
'This Insidious Gospel'
'Disdain Ov Existence'
'Banished'
'Poison Pure Suicide'
Withering Hope - Uncompromisingly black metal, audaciously daring and ambitiously moody. This album contains symphonic and doom/death elements that are absent on Serpent Ov Old's debut EP, Poison Pure Suicide. Withering Hope is a diverse listen and an onslaught of speed, melody and symphonics. A new dimension to the ambient entity that which is Serpent Ov Old.
'Disdain Ov Existence'
'Banished'
'Drowning in Sorrow'
'This Insidious Gospel'
'That Which No Name Carries'
'Through Shame I find Illumination'
'Poison Pure Suicide'
'Withering Hope'
Serpent Ov Synth - Serpent Ov Old gives tribute to the masterpieces from the Withering Hope album, albeit, in a synthetic form. No fuitars, no vociferous howls, no pulse... Only the synth tracks that were used on the recording of Withering Hope. Burzumic in scope (Daudi Balders era) and affectionately executed. The seven tracks presented here are interesting interpretations of Serpent Ov Old's triumphant opus Withering Hope.
