Varathron – Genesis of apocryphal desire (LP)

Early cult Varathron material compiled. “Early Varathron mixed brutality into melodic song structures. Across continent Sweden were doing similar feats but would eventually lose the brutal side with numerous bands. A band that also sounded similar to Rotting Christ however due to their success this doesn’t put Varathron in their shadow. Their early era seemed like a collaboration of ideas of dark minded individuals who were fore frontiers in the scene. If you heard Varathron’s later work and want to dive deeper into their early thought processes. Then, I recommend you swim to this and don’t worry about the other shallow later scene!”
