Perhaps not surprisingly, the band is the work of two old souls: drummer Thomas Ødegaard (AKA Tex Terror, longtime drummer\/vocalist of Nocturnal Breed) and vocalist\/multi-instrumentalist Kharon, a member of Norway's Covenant, during that band's earliest (and best) days. EKROM made their public debut in November 2022 with the EP The Black Flames of Seth - initially digital-only, but then finding super-limited tape release in March of this year.

Wasting no time with an intro, the album kicks in - HARD - with a spiraling \u0026amp; suffocating spire of absolutely classic Nordic ice. Shards of stained-glass synth soon enter the picture and make EKROM's cryogenics even more haunting and expansive, with the production itself - crisp, clear, and somehow dense simultaneously, most importantly emitting an air of mystery and mysticism such as it was during the darkest 1990s - almost working as another instrument. That the duo have these sounds dialed in is one (exceptional) thing; that they wield those sonics in service of imaginative, immersive songwriting is another. Indeed, Uten Nådigst Formildelse is a transportive experience, much like those ancient Norwegian tomes here, severing the listener from reality and opening the portals to the beyond and dream-worlds yet contemplated: life-giving and -damning in equal measure, a manifestation of eldritch energies most potent.
