Wyrd [FI] “Vargtimmen pt. II” MC 2004/2025

Description

Vargtimmen Pt. II is the fourth full-length by the Finnish Pagan (Black) Metal project Wyrd and, like the album title suggests, the second release under the Vargtimmen banner – though the lyrics don’t follow any intertwined storyline.

This is the first Wyrd album where the music began to shift more towards melodic death metal – if that definition can even, or should be, used in this context. The opening track, “The Wicker Man”, is a soul-crushing, doomladen death/black metal piece that, in our books, still stands as one of the finest in Wyrd’s vast discography. As does the whole album, in fact.

Songs like the aforementioned “The Wicker Man”, “Ominous Insomnia” and “Cold, Son of the Wind” stand out, although the album as a whole easily carries its nearly 54-minute length.

We are extremely proud and honored to be the first label to reissue this piece of Misanthropic Heathen Art on tape and in digital formats.

The Pale and the Dead are stalking – what are you waiting for?

Originally released on April 17th, 2004 via Solisitium Records.
