Fleurety - Department Of Apocalyptic Affairs (2024 Remaster) - Ltd LP (Marble)

25th Anniversary of FLEURETY’s seminal 2000 album which brought weirdness into the new millenium. Features members of MAYHEM, ULVER, ARCTURUS, AURA NOIR & more. With newly remastered audio. Produced by Kristoffer Rygg of ULVER.

Fleurety was formed in Ytre Enebakk, Norway in 1991, & is known for pioneering an experimental & boundary-breaking approach to black metal, integrating a variety of styles beyond purely metallic ones. The band has released three studio albums to date, plus a string of EP's, & has primarily existed as a duo featuring guitarist Alexander Nordgaren (formerly live guitarist for Norwegian legends, Mayhem) & drummer/vocalist Svein Egil "Zweizz" Hatlevik (Umoral, Strid, ex-Dodheimsgard) throughout their full history.

Fleurety was considered a slight oddity to the rest of the Norwegian movement at the time of their inception, for developing an altogether different style with more dynamic musical influences & obscure & non-traditional riffing. Following on from the 'Black Snow' demo in 1993 & the 'A Darker Shade Of Evil' 7" the following year, the band presented their full-length debut to the world in the shape of 'Min Tid Skal Komme'; an exquisite & revered journey through dark & often introspective soundscapes.

'Department Of Apocalyptic Affairs' followed in 2000 & revealed an even more avantgarde, eccentric & eclectic blend of genre fusing, with Nordgaren & Hatlevik joined by a multitude of guests on the album, including many legends of the Norwegian scene including Hellhammer & Maniac of Mayhem, & Kristoffer Rygg of fellow Norwegian experimentalists Ulver, who also handled production duties on the release.
