Brente Engler (Norwegian for Burned Angels) is a peculiar black metal project hailing from the small village of Koppang in Norway. The official credits for the first release that was sent to BELLVM GERITE listed three members: Kjell Hagen (vocals, guitars, bass, drums), Johannes Berg and Tor Olsen. Kjell never really explained who the other two people listed in the credits are and how they contributed to the project.
An old friend of his who now lives in Lillehammer expressed doubts about their very existence. He also revealed that Kjell had spent over 6 months in a psychiatric hospital after he had a mental breakdown due to a long history of suffering from depression and delusions. He is no longer able to work due to his mental illness and lives on welfare - roughly 8000 NOK per month (about 900 EUR/1200 USD). The debut release Svart Vitenskap (Black Science) features mostly slow blast beats accompanied by monotonous and grim riffs but also fast and aggressive passages. Unlike most digitally released contemporary black metal the sound is clean, uncompressed and low in volume to allow more dynamic depth - the way music used to be released prior to the Loudness War which originated in the Eighties. The most curious thing about the release are the lyrics though. Do not be fooled by the Norwegian song names, Kjell does not sing in English or Norwegian.

Mysterious band. The sung lyrics sound savage and archaic, almost orcish. But... what if the language he is using in his songs, nobody knows? People with a mental illness sometimes appear to have a strange kind of creativity an imagination. We can just wonder...

Strange sense of obsession and madness. Definitely an interesting listen. Repetitive but filling.
