'The Black Legions' was a collaboration of musicians who operated out of Brest, France. They took the darkness Norway had provided and gnarled it into kvlt genius. There were only a small amount of musicians involved, together they formed multiple bands, along with one man projects, and guested on each others material. The anterior album for this styling is Mutiilation's 1995 release 'Vampires of Black Imperial Blood.' Meyhna'ch (Mutiilation's single member) crafted what would become DBM (Depressive Black Metal). Through melancholic songwriting and true low fidelity in the most artistic sense he added a new ingredient to the blackness.
Ale Companion: North Coast makes quality beer (period). Old Rasputin is a Russian Imperial Stout based on the brew that was shipped to Catherine the Great from England. This ale pours black (great for the tunes), and has the scent of dark chocolate and fruits. Based on the smell, look, and gorgeous art this brew is already triumphant. It begins with the sweet and luscious malt base, but proceeds with a prime bitterness (in the most positive way). It has the feel of a dry stout, but is not overdone. This stout will compliment the eerie tunes listed above. Let the goose pimples grow and enjoy the shiver up your spine, this pairing will leave you warmed and chilled at the same time.
