Mistigo Varggoth Darkestra ‎– The Key To The Gates Of Apocalypses (1999)


Country: Ukraine

Tracklist
1. The Key To The Gates Of Apocalypses 01:12:03

Mistigo Varggoth Darkestra was the dark project of Knjaz Varggoth 
(also the leader of the Kharkiv band Nokturnal Mortum). 
As Knjaz Varggoth needed a project to express his most inner feelings and thoughts, 
he was the sole member of the band that written and recorded the music for the project.
His first albums were fully instrumental acts stretching more towards the ambient genre.
In the autumn of 1998 Knjaz Varggoth recorded "The Key To The Gates Of Apocalypses", 

an one-track concept album that totals over 70 minutes long. 
This can be regarded as a mixture of black metal and strangulating dark ambience. 
The CD was released by The End Records.
