KROHM – A World Through Dead Eyes LP (Black Vinyl) OG 2004

Limited to 500 copies.

Vinyl and sleeve are VG+/NM.

Krohm's first album continues the soundscapes and effect of his demo Crown of the Ancients. This album, poetically named A World Through Dead Eyes is exactly what it promises. A trip to the paradoxical thought of sensing a world without any chance to be part of it anymore, after death and bathing in blind coldness and void. Same atmosphere was already present in the very convincing demo Crown of the Ancients which ideas are now developed into 50+ minute depressive and hauntingly beautiful musical whole

It is hard to find any negative aspects in Krohm's first album. This music is among some other depressive black metal offerings that have created so thorough and mystically rich material that any definition to certain genre "black metal" isn't at all necessary. This music just happens to use many elements and key instruments of black metal. Alongside Xasthur's greatest achievements (for example songs like Telepathic With the Deceased and the instrumental version of Suicide in Dark Serenity) Krohm is musical brilliance from the darkest depths of human existence. And yet Krohm sounds totally personal without any clear pointings to any other band or project out there. Krohm and A World Through Dead Eyes are that remarkable.
