Keep Of Kalessin - Reptilian




NORTHERN WARRIORS#Style: Melodic Black Metal
NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Origin: Norway (Trondheim)
NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Lyrics: War, Darkness, Evil
NORTHERN WARRIORS#
Year: 2010

Keep of Kalessin spawned back in 1994, under the name Ildskjaer, by the hand of Ghash and Obsidian C., later joined by Vyl and Warach. The band´s violent yet dark and epic black metal - as well as the somewhat mysterious monicker and lyrics - are inspired by the work of American fantasy writer Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Earthsea Quartet. With this concept in mind, the guys recorded the first demo Skygger av Sorg in the Fall of 1996, though several problems in finding a proper rehearsal room made this task rather difficult.

Shade Empire began truly develop their music and 2004 it was time for the first effort “Sinthetic”. For their first album these young Finns introduced a very orchestrated, yet electronic dark/black metal. This powerful mixture of melody and hate earned many great reviews worldwide and pushed their recognizable sound to wider audience.
