Reception

edit

Peaceville records re-released what it described as a classic album on its label.[1]

A reviewer in Sonic Abuse describes Høstmørke as "a stunning, icy collection of folk, doom, black metal and rock all held together by the charismatic strength of Fenriz’s idiosyncratic voice and the sheer wealth of influences that can be found throughout the disc", and praises Peaceville for the "more than worthy" reissue.[2]
