Deep in the ancient days of the dark Swedish past... a time which bred the sacred symphonies of monumental black metal, came forth a mighty horde known simply as SETHERIAL. The group, composed of several elite musicians spanning the ranks of several elite bands, quickly released a monolith symoblizing the blackened times from which they came, namely, the demo... " A Hail To The Faceless Angels." Released in a grouping of only 500 copies ( I think this is accurate! ). The demo spread like plauge, infecting... or enriching... you decide, the lives of underground maniacs. Me being one of them. The material took me quite some time to get used to, considering it lacked the suger- coated production that graced the sounds of their later albums, epsecially Nord. Yet, I think the sound, be what it may, does the music great justice, and clearly compliments the range of melodies displayed throughout. Nothing here but moving and hypnotic passages of pagan might, straight from the eyes of the ancient culture of swedens past ( or something like that ).

Anyways, if you can get your paws on this tape, DO IT! You'll not be dissapointed.
