Hailing from the forever-thriving Finnish black metal underground, FÖRGJORD is one of that scene's stranger and more unique entities. Existing since the mid '90s, the trio have largely shied away from the spotlight - even when that spotlight is blacklit and dim - and patiently parcel out their releases, with a sparse-yet-solid discography to date. Uhripuu - their third album, released to critical acclaim in 2017 by WEREWOLF RECORDS - crystalized the idiosyncratic FÖRGJORD aesthetic, and surprise of all surprises, the band are back but two years later with their fourth full-length, Ilmestykset.
