The history of Channelling The Quintessence Of Satan:
During the winter 1998 recording, Silenius - at that time more and more detached from Black Metal - felt unable to contribute anything worthwhile to the fiercly riffing album, so Thurisaz took over.
We have never been really satisfied, since ABIGOR´s musical work was always paired with Silenius´ individual voice and original performances.
But not only the vocals, also theme of the album, inspired by Bergman´s „The Seventh Seal“, wasn´t represented well by the synth interludes, samples and effects - appearing like an alien element on the otherwise thoroughly traditional work.

Forward to the mid 00s, PK found a CD-R with an instrumental stereo file of the first 3 studiodays - not even a rough-mix but a „no-mix“, the kind we always took home on cassette (later CD-R) after the basic tracking, to hear what was achieved and prepare the next session.
the original 24-track tapes, and with it access to the individual instruments, were lost, but now with the stereo CD-R, we had the chance to use the original drums and guitars, add new vocals and bass, and keep the atmosphere pure, free from inappropriate keyboard additions.

AR first performed the vocals for Chennelling The Quintessence Of Satan in 2010 but again, we haven´t been ultimately satisfied. After some weeks, we deleted the whole vocal recordings, now accepting nothing less than the most devoted and possessed performance possible.
One year later, a final recording session was set up. This time AR truly stepped down into the abyss and back in time, into europe´s darkest age when death and devilry planted fear in the hearts and darkness in the souls. He layed down an otherworldly performance but for a price, his own soul was consumed by the serpents and flames he called forth in the intro, and the curse of this album left him unable to continue, too.

The Final Chapter:
Rough and ugly sonics was the declared aim already in 1998 - after the pompous Supreme Immortal Art, we wanted to enforce the raw power and evil nature of Black Metal, and while Marshall towers were readily available at Hörnix studio, we used a cheap crappy Zoom effect box for the guitars.
CTQOS was tracked very quickly - on the first afternoon the drums were set-up and recorded, mostly first takes played freely and improvised without whatsoever pilot. On the second day, guitar recordings started and on the third day, we had a full instrumental album.
Using the „no-mix“ underlines the utterly direct and rough version of ABIGOR, as „live“ as it gets.

On the 2011 CD version we tried to compensate the „no-mix“ with further enforcing the distorted nature of the album and heavily compressed the sound. In retrospect this wasn´t the best decision (we will find a way for all those who bought the CD to access the new master digitally), and now, 5 years later, our experience gave us the ways and means to come up with an improved and dynamic vinyl master. Channelling The Quintessence Of Satan finally shines in a completely different black light.

Also for the first and last time, the demos are released in entirety on vinyl, and there is no need to lose any further words on these, as they document the Black Metal movement´s powerful peak.
This is how 1993 and 1994 sounded, in all grim, self-made and most primitive glory. Recorded with 2 cheap microphones plugged directly into the Tascam 4-track, in the cold cellar of Tharen´s house. The unfiltered aural witness of reckless teenagers confessing their souls to Satan, of clashing swords and dark forests, of violence and bloodshed, trying to raise hell on earth in the name of all dark and evil.

Warum sind die Cover-Bilder verpixelt?

Bedankt euch bei deutschen Abmahn-Anwälten

Leider passiert es immer wieder, dass Abmahnungen für angebliche Copyright-Verletzungen ins Haus flattern. Ganz häufig ist es der Fall, dass auf dem Frontcover ein Foto oder eine Grafik eines Fotografen oder Künstlers genutzt wird, was dann nur mit dem Namen der Band und dem Titel des Albums versehen wurde. Das ursprüngliche Foto/Kunstwerk ist somit immer noch sehr prominent zu sehen. Die Abmahner nutzen zumeist automatisierte Prozesse, die das Netz nach unlizensierten Nutzungen der Werke ihrer Mandanten durchsuchen und dabei Abweichungen bis zu einem gewissen Prozentgrad ignorieren. Somit gibt es also häufig angebliche Treffer. Obwohl das Foto/Kunstwerk von den Plattenfirmen oder Bands ganz legal für die Veröffentlichung lizensiert wurde, ist dies den Abmahnern egal, ganz oft wissen die ja nicht einmal, was für eine einzelne Veröffentlichung abgemacht wurde. Die sehen nur die angebliche Copyright-Verletzung und fordern die dicke Kohle.

Da Musik-Sammler.de nachwievor von privater Hand administriert, betrieben und bezahlt wird, ist jede Abmahnung ein existenzbedrohendes Risiko. Nach der letzten Abmahnung, die einen 5-stelligen(!) Betrag forderte, sehe ich mich nun gezwungen drastische Maßnahmen zu ergreifen oder die Seite komplett aufzugeben. Daher werden jetzt alle hochgeladenen Bilder der Veröffentlichungen für NICHT-EINGELOGGTE Nutzer verpixelt. Wer einen Musik-Sammler.de Nutzeraccount hat, braucht sich also einfach nur einmal anmelden und sieht wieder alles wie gewohnt.
