Back to tape traded items, here's a two song advance/rough mix tape from Norwegian symphonic black metal troupe Odium. Both tracks appear on the debut (and only) album "The Sad Realm of the Stars" and naturally sound a bit different, these being the rough mixes. Obviously there's no cover for this one as it's not an official promo really, rather something they dubbed to some contacts (I think).
The tape (and dub too) has a good sound, it's clear and doesn't have much tape wear. Compared to the album sound, well it is a rough mix so it differs, being less polished, stripped down and slighty muffled in comparison. Closer to the demo 1996 actually, so for change there's a genuine difference. It's pretty good and not of the circus music variation of synth bm, more straight ol' norsecore. Worth giving it a try if you enjoy other Odium stuff, Thy Grief, old Emperor, Limbonic Art, and maybe Swedes like Vinterland or Dawn.
I'll have to check this one out. I was always a big fan of their debut.

VastaaPoistaHope you'll enjoy it, I liked it myself. Check out a few other demos while you're at it - there's quite a few you're unlikely to find physical copies of.
