THE MIST FROM THE MOUNTAINS - Portal: The gathering... - CD

Hailing from the ever-fertile Finnish scene, THE MIST FROM THE MOUNTAINS were a brand-new formation with a very old heart, with their chilling-yet-breathtaking ruminations harkening to the golden days of melodic, nature-inspired black metal back during the mid '90s. Names invoked included old Borknagar, Kvist, Old Man's Child, Norway's Gehenna, and even earliest Dimmu Borgir, but on the songwriting strength across Monumental, these still-young Finns were well on their way to forging an odyssey all their own.
