CD reissue of Denmark-based Nortt's epic 1999 demo. In the spirit of early atmospheric, depressive Black Metal / Funeral Doom acts like Burzum. Xasthur and Mortiis, "Graven" is a collection of depressive, horrifying tone poems rather than a simple series of songs, progressing deeper and darker into cavernous sonic wastelands. "Graven" is akin to what the sound of death would be like; Nortt is the ferryman, ever eager to offer passage.
