Koldbrann "Vertigo"

Koldbrann ("Gangrene") is a Norwegian black metal band founded in 2001.

Musically Koldbrann, like countrymen 1349, play very orthodox black metal in the classic Norwegian mould and have also received favorable comparisons to early Gorgoroth, Mayhem and Darkthrone. Much of the praise directed at the band has therefore been centered on their songwriting and reproduction of the old sound of the Norwegian scene.

Koldbrann have been very vocal about their distaste for drum triggers, featuring anti-trigger notifications on two of their full-length albums.

Vertigo is their third full-length, released January 25th, 2013

Track list:

1. IntroVertigo 05:54   
2. Totalt sjelelig bankerott 05:45
