Black Shining Leather

Black Shining Leather cover art

Arriving years after their legendary early demo tapes, the Norwegian duo's long-delayed debut full-length injects raw black metal with a sleazy, distinctly punk-infused swagger. The incorporation of pronounced basslines, gothic synthesizers, and unapologetically sordid lyrical themes heavily defined their unique, primitive 'black 'n' roll' aesthetic.
