This CD reissue of "The Black Arts/The Everlasting Sins" was originally released in 1992 on vinyl. It's one of the most formative and important releases in all the Greek pantheon, despite the divided attentions one might suspect from any such pair of artists. In particular, Necromantia's part of the split is often regared as one of the most eerie and accommodating material they've written in their career. Varathron's contribution is equally worthy, and some of their best. This album is the manifesto of the whole Hellenic Black metal scene. Split interview with Hellenic black metal key figures The Magus / Morbid form Necromantia by Pim Blankenstein (Toxik, Sinister, Officium Triste) and Stefan Necroabyssious by Steven Willems ( Celtic Frost, Decide, Destruction / Voices from the Darkside).
