Forest Poetry

Ildjarn 'Forest Poetry'

Ildjarn's irreproachable 1996 LP, Forest Poetry. Raw, raw to the bone, bleak and callow Black Metal. This is Black Metal nude, stripped down to it's skivvies, stripped of all and left just the core. Punk in structure, noise-y and distorted, simple yet layered, and icy cold stare of Black Metal. Hateful. Mean. Uncomprimising. Ildjarn is that grating metal on metal of head on collision car wrecks. Forest Poetry is two rabid wolves fighting over raw meat. Ildjarn. Forest Poetry. Beauty in its simplicity.
