CARPATHIAN FOREST – strange old brew – CD

Originally released in 2000, Strange Old Brew is the second album by the ever-uncompromising Norwegian act Carpathian Forest, who formed in 1990.

It was recorded at Sound Suite Studios, produced & mixed by Terje Refsnes (Tristania, Gehenna, Sirenia).

Considered a cult Black Metal release, the album deals with dark themes of death & suicide, introducing stronger atmospherics alongside their trademark brand of raw Black Metal mixed with inspiration from the 80s Black Metal scene & rock/punk genres.

The band features mainman Nattefrost, who has lately enjoyed a successful solo-career, alongside his main band. Also appearing on Strange Old Brew is Tchort on bass, a familiar name from his previous work with Emperor’s debut album and more diverse acts such as Green Carnation.

One of the leading names from the infamous Scandinavian Black Metal Scene.
