Black Crucifixion "Satanic Zeitgeist" vinyl LP

In the beginning there was light. Regardless of the sound that Black Crucifixion created and the fact that we were probably the world’s most northern black metal act, the original idea of the band came together in a beautiful summer night, with the sun shining bright. We lived in the Arctic Circle, so during the summers the sun shines twenty-four hours a day.

It was year 1991 and it took me and Blacksoul only two weeks to book our first gig in a metal festival in the city of Oulu. The other bands playing were Impaled Nazarene, Demigod, Sentenced, Belial, Amorphis and Beherit. It is remarkable that in those days there was no distinction or borders between “death metal” or “black metal” scenes: we were part of the same movement, brothers in arms.

Our line-up already had Sodomatic Slaughter on drums and he also played his farewell show with Beherit that night. Also another ex-Beherit member Wennström featured in our line-up as bass player.

23th of August 1991 wasn't just an ordinary Friday in Oulu, Finland. That was the date of the Day of Darkness festival where Black Crucifixion, Beherit, Impaled Nazarene, Amorphis, Sentenced, Demigod and Belial shared the same stage for the only time in history. The performance of Black Crucifixion was recorded professionally and now for the first time ever it can be heard. "Satanic Zeitgeist" features three previously unheard Black Crucifixion tracks, the only live version of their title track "Black Crucifixion" and two cover versions of Venom and Sarcofago. This is the only recording of the original Black Crucifixion line-up featuring Beherit members Wennström and Sodomatic Slaughter on bass and drums.

Recorded live at the "Day of Darkness Festival" August 23rd 1991 in Oulun Urheilutalo, Finland.
