BAL-SAGOTH - First Trilogy
Between 1994 and 1998, the mighty BAL-SAGOTH recorded their now legendary First Trilogy of albums, which were originally unleashed by the cult UK label Cacophonous Records. These renowned masterworks of Symphonic Fantasy Black Metal defined a genre and provided inspiration for an entire generation of bands who subsequently rose in BAL-SAGOTH's illustrious wake. Now, A Black Moon Broods over Lemuria, Starfire Burning upon the Ice-Veiled Throne of Ultima Thule and Battle Magic return triumphantly as newly remastered editions complete with lavishly illustrated lyric booklets! A Black Moon Broods over Lemuria is presented in its entirety as a gatefold double vinyl LP edition, while Starfire Burning upon the Ice-Veiled Throne of Ultima Thule and Battle Magic are finally making their long-awaited first appearances on vinyl after more than three decades!
All hail the true kings of symphonic sword & sorcery Black Metal!
