Biography
Joined by Surth in 1994, Svartsyn once again had a complete lineup and began to work on their first serious tracks. Confident in the new lineup and name by February of 1995, they hit the studio. By the end of March the sessions had yielded nine new songs showcasing their evolution. Five were released as the demo “A Night Created By The Shadows”, with the other 4 tracks remaining unreleased to this day. In 1996, Draugen (of Dark Funeral fame) joined the ranks of Svartsyn and rounded out the roster, enhancing their sound further in the process.
Upon signing a deal with Folter Records the band hit the studio again with their new lineup and brought forth “The True Legend”. Cited by some fans as a sub-par album, its release was followed by a short tour in 1997 with Behemoth and Desaster - a tour which saw Svartsyn playing shows abroad in Holland and Germany. After finishing the circuit Surth left and was replaced by Kolgrim, which gave them the unique opportunity to re-record the “Tormentor” 7” and refine their earlier efforts. “…

i don't mind the drum sound...another solid Svartsyn album!

Black Testament is actually quite good once you get over the dominant triggered blast beats in every song.

It's interesting how this band manages to have a relatively lo-fi sound without any of the characteristic buzzing of a lot of black metal

Summon the goat for the first....The True Legend. With the fire on the cover. There could never be a new addition to the real thing.

Last full length sucks hard.

I tend to agree, though the new EP is much better than the previous full length.

I don't think Svartsyn will ever be the same without Draugen. He's one of my primary influences that got me into drumming and will not soon be forgotten!
