About this release

Released by Southern lord on October 17th, 2005.

Greg Anderson is credited as Mystik Fogg Invokator throughout this album. Stephen O'Malley is credited as Taoiseach, MK Ultra Blizzard, Caveman Skillz, SOMA, and Drone Slut).

"Cursed Realm (Of The Winterdemons)" is technically a cover song of the Immortal
song of the same name; however, the music itself is different from the actual
song (but Sunn O))) used the same lyrics from the song.)

"Báthory Erzsébet" also is considered a loose cover version of the song "A Fine
Day to Die" by Bathory.

The vocals of the song "CandleGoat" are taken from "Freezing Moon" by Mayhem
(Nor) and were written by Dead in 1991.

There was also a limited 2 CD version (2000 numbered copies). The 2nd Disc is
called "Solstitium Fulminate" (Live at Roskilde), and the tracks were Wine & Fog
(21:28) and Vlad Tepes (16:42)

The Japanese import of "Black One" comes in a digibook package, with a bonus
disc. This disc is the limited live CD "La Mort Noir dans Esch / Alzette". Both
are protected by a plastic seal, and there's also a biography in one of the
sleeves, written entirely in Japanese.

Malefic, who is claustrophobic, was locked in a casket to record the vocals for
