Faustcoven Norway
Faustcoven was formed by Gunnar Hansen in 2002 and have ever since been dedicated to the ways of old. Black Sabbath &
Bathory. Horror & riffs from the grave. BLACK DOOM METAL!
“In the Shadow of Doom” was released on Nuclear War Now in August 2018. Thus so far four foul full lengths have seen the light of day, before quickly retreating into the darkness of the crypts from whence they came.

by Malokarpatan
The unholy union of folk horror, black metal in the best possible Master's Hammer/Mortuary Drape-tradition, and generous helpings of booze.

The debut EP was very good, but this full length is quite a step up. Crushing, dense and suffocating metal that both looks back to harsher days of yore (Venom/Sodom/Hellhammer!), but also forward.
