Grimm – Nordisk Vinter (Demo 1993)

Country: Norway

Tracklist

1. Intro: Darkest Depths 03:27
2. The Embrace Of The Cold 03:50
3. Born In The Hands Of Doom 04:49

Pre-Carpathian Forest demo featuring the two main founders of the band Nattefrost and J. Nordavind.
Some of the other Grimm members also participated in "Journey Through the Cold Moors of Svarttjern"

demo release as guests (Grimm and Damnatus).
Well this is a very good demo pointing the direction that the future relases of Carpathian Forest would follow.
With very few words what you get from this cult release is one intro, a black'n'roll track (in Carpathian Forest style)

and a more slow-atmospheric-black metal composition.
Re-released as a bootleg 7" EP in 2001 by Vinyl Maniac Records (sublabel of No Colours Records).

Bands activity started to evolve in 1996, consisting of composer, instrumentalist and sound alchemist Vladimir Hirsch, 
singer Martina Sanollova and lyricist and producer Tom Saivon.
The creative principle of the band is based on neo-classical concepts with a congregation of martial industrial, 
with an attempt to attain an organic amalgam of the two on rudiments of rock music patterns.
Martyria was released as a 10-inch LP on the LOKI Foundation/Power & Steel label 
in August 1998 as a limited edition of 300 copies. 
These tracks were also included in their later full-length album Insomnia Dei, released in 2001.
