Today's post is the seldom seen 1st demo of Into the Sunless Meridian. Vaalkoth had lost his own copy somewhere but luckily brother Fenrirsson had and ripped it, so thanks to him for this! Scans of the cover and lyrics sheet are also included.
If you listened to the second demo, you know what to expect as this much in the same vein, though with a bit more straight black metal content. The old school influences are present like always but slightly more subdued. The intro track was used also on the self titled album, the rest of the content I think hasn't been elsewhere. Fenrirsson's rip is very good quality and the demo itself has a decent sound so there should be no problems in that direction. Recommended for people into the other ITSM material, fans of atmospheric 90s black metal sound and collectors of bm demos. Vaalkoth should be posting this also on his personal blog, go look there for the rest of his material!

Any time I see "intro", "outro" and "parts" in the tracklist to indicate some conceptual intent, I'm there. And the Lunar Slumber tracks here do not disappoint. Completely awesome weirdness that ends this demo in wonderfully demented fashio.
Great post, Velkaarn.
I remain,
@Ian:
Glad you enjoyed the demo, did you try the second one already? It seemed to have a concept running through (most of) it - and of course for extra weirdness check out the Shadowcaster albums!
Yes I dug the second demo and commented profusely on Shadowcaster...this is kingpossum, but for some reason my given name ian was listed as the commenter. Guess I hit the wrong commenter selection!
Peace,
@kp:
Heh, these are the problems today's technology has us facing! Well then you are well aware of the past works. I'm stuck with a little issue here concerning next post, I suppose I'll postpone it even further and do something else.
Good luck with that. In the meantime, it'd be awesome cool if Mikael would kick down those remaining Shadowcaster niceties...
@kingpossum:
Indeed, I better go and remind him about the Sc demos!
I'm still not done with the troublesome one, it's a rehearsal(s) tape of which I'm not sure what belongs to it and what not, extremely annoying!
