about
Even Norwegian legends aren’t immune to metal’s epidemic lineup changes. With the departure of Frost and Attila, even those who’ve followed the band through times of war might’ve feared that KEEP OF KALESSIN had been mortally wounded. After all, the band’s fearless leader was also playing guitar for Satyricon.
Of course, Arnt Obsidian did soldier on. Backed by a new wizard on bass and an Internet sensation on the drum kit, KEEP OF KALESSIN claimed their second Norwegian Grammy nomination with their colossal fourth album. ‘Kolossus’ is still forged from the melodic but no less fiery cauldrons of black metal. Guitar solos slice like long swords while double bass pounds with all the relentless fury of a war drum. But adding acoustic polish and symphonic flurries to their arsenal elevated the band to a higher field of battle.
“My name will spawn legends”, Thebon screams, going down in a blaze of glory amidst the album’s ascendant grand finale.
Even amongst their many treasures, ‘Kolossus’ still shines as one of KEEP OF KALESSIN’s crown jewels.

The Underworld Awaits Us All
by NILEsupported by 4 fans who also own “Kolossus”
Intense. Brutal. Relentless. Rather short. But on the spot and without any messing around. "To Strike with Secret Fang" is a bit of a surprise. The rest of the album. Considering that I lost Nile a bit out of view over the years, one recognizes the brutality and the intensity on this release rather fastly. This trip is quite a trip. Personally, I prefer the fast and intense tracks.
