Winter
Eternal Frost (marbled)
'Eternal Frost' is an EP by New York's cult death doom band Winter. Never before released on vinyl as its own release and only included in the deluxe edition of 'Into Darkness' released by Svart Records in 2020. Formed in New York circa 1988, Winter played slow, deep and hard nuclear doom with a crust punk rawness, that came across like Hellhammer jamming with Amebix. Their penchant for mammoth sized and funeral-paced, wasteland droning has become a touchstone reference for bands across the whole spectrum of underground metal. Originally released only on CD by Nuclear Blast in 1994, 'Eternal Frost' is a reissue of the 1989 eponymously titled demo tape with an additional track 'Manifestation I.' Winter's pre-internet infamy led to their demos being tape-traded in hallowed adoration by fans and bands alike, gaining notable fans such as Fenriz from Darkthrone.
