| Hailing from the darkest depths of Surte, Sweden, Runemagick evoke feelings of utter desolation and despair with their new album, Voyage to Desolation/Dawn of the End. Started in late 1990 and focused on playing a mid-tempo death/doom style of metal, they took inspiration from the classic death/black metal bands: Celtic Frost, Bathory, Autopsy, and Hellhammer. Crushing and deliberate at one point, moody and distant in the next, Runemagick aurally depicts the dreary murk and fog that embodies the coldest, most dismal graveyard Sweden has to offer. (2008) |
