Annorkoth was the atmospheric black metal project initiated by a single artist, known as B.M. (full name undisclosed for privacy), hailing from Russia. The project was rooted deeply in the tradition of atmospheric and depressive black metal, but what distinguished Annorkoth from its contemporaries was the profound infusion of ambient and post-rock elements, creating soundscapes that were as haunting as they were introspective. The artist drew inspiration from the desolation of nature, the bleakness of life, and the tranquillity of solitude, each album serving as a gateway into B.M.'s reflections and emotional states.
The project saw its inception in the early 2010s, with "The Last Days," one of Annorkoth's final offerings, being released in 2013. This album followed on from the eponymous release "Annorkoth" and "The Past," both of which were also appreciated for their raw, evocative musicianship. Together, these works solidified Annorkoth's reputation within the underground metal community. The immersive atmospheric layers, combined with the project's signature melodic sensibility, captured the essence of human existential longing and torment, encapsulating a solitary journey through the mind of its creator. Although Annorkoth's lifespan as a project was relatively short, it left an indelible mark on the sub-genre, with its discography remaining a testament to B.M.'s solitary artistic vision and the power of black metal to explore deep emotional landscapes.
