Black Shining LeatherartistBlack Shining Leather is the debut studio album by Norwegian black metal band Carpathian Forest. It was released in 1998 through Avantgarde Music, and re-issued in 2007 by Peaceville Records via digipak format.
Through Chasm, Caves and Titan WoodsartistCarpathian Forest is a band characterized by a raw and aggressive form of Norwegian black metal, combining the primitive ferocity of early 1990s extreme metal with an unmistakable sense of decadence, nihilism, and morbid atmosphere. Their sound merges cold, tremolo-driven guitar riffs, lo-fi music production, and harsh, rasping vocals with an undercurrent of punk-inspired immediacy.
