Huginn "Back From The Old Hills / Back From Oblivion" CD

Track 9 Bathory cover. Symphonic pagan black metal from Italy!

The first ( started in 1993! ) project of Marco De Rosa, one of the most prominent figures in the Italian black metal underground. He's been involved in bands such as SKOLL, OPERA IX, THE TRUE ENDLESS, A FOREST, PROFEZIA and many other collaborations. He sadly passed away in 2017 ( cancer ).

"According to both the Poetic, the Prose Edda and Skaldic Poetry, Huginn and Muninn (Old Icelandic for, respectively "Thought" and "Memory") are the ravens of the Norse God Odin. He releases them every morning and they come back by mid-day with secrets gleaned from all over the world."
