The fury has been building overseas for years. The exciting sounds of black metal’s newest son slowly nurturing its molten, raw metallic bite. Their two recordings for Italian label, Avantgarde Music, have found their way to the hands of the curious ears that could not resist the power. Now, finally, in 2006 the US braces for its official introduction to Norway’s KEEP OF KALESSIN.

Armada, the latest chronicle from the black metal militia, is an explosive recording that lives up to its high expectations. Founded by guitarist Obsidian C (SATYRICON), the album celebrates over two years of work and already is finding much acclaim. A video for album track, “Into the Fire,” will be completed in March, prior to US album release and the band already are a confirmed performer for the annual Inferno Festival.
