Carpathian Forest

Carpathian Forest is a Norwegian black metal band that was formed in 1990 by Nattefrost (real name Roger Rasmussen) and Nordavind (real name Johnny Krøvel), two musicians who have cemented their dark and controversial legacies within the black metal scene. Known for their unapologetically raw sound and provocative themes, Carpathian Forest's music delves into subjects of misanthropy, death, and the occult, reflecting the genre's infamous charm with a grim and frostbitten aura. Their sound is characterized by a blend of relentless riffs, rasping vocals, and an atmosphere laden with a sense of desolation and malevolence, which has earned them a dedicated following in the black metal community.

Over the years, Carpathian Forest has released a slew of albums that have garnered both acclaim and notoriety. Their debut studio album, "Black Shining Leather" (1998), set a strong foundation for their sound and was followed by efforts like "Strange Old Brew" (2000) and "Morbid Fascination of Death" (2001), which further demonstrated their adherence to the raw aesthetics of black metal while incorporating subtle experimental elements. The band's lyrical bravado and relentless sonic assault continued with albums such as "Defending the Throne of Evil" (2003) and "Fuck You All" (2006), showcasing their evolution without straying from their core ethos. Despite numerous line-up changes and periods of inactivity, Carpathian Forest has remained a significant and influential entity within their genre, with compilations like "We Are Going To Hell For This - Over A Decade Of Perversions" (2002) and "Skjend Hans Lik" (2004) serving as testament to their enduring and perverse legacy.
