Back in the late 90s and early 2000s during the peak of the second wave of Swedish black metal SVARTSYN reached a towering level of darkness with the masterful album Destruction Of Man. This release stands as one of the most essential and quintessential black metal albums in history. A monument forged in pure misanthropy isolation and spiritual violence. A work that carved the already respected name of SVARTSYN into dire stone forever. With its one of a kind style of riffing and its suffocating aura of hatred Destruction Of Man breathed the true spirit of the era. The riffs twist with a strange and unsettling logic. The atmosphere reeks of cold hunger and total disdain for mankind. Every track is a void ritual performed in solitude far from the world of the living. This album did not simply strengthen the legacy of SVARTSYN. It defined it. To make this edition even more special an exclusive unreleased rehearsal track has been added. A raw misanthropic reek of isolation and hate captured in its most primitive form. A glimpse into the same destructive force that shaped the album itself. Destruction Of Man remains a testament to the absolute conviction of Swedish black metal at its peak. A relic of the old flame still burning with violent intent.
