kingdavidslament 11Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: 12Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help. 13Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. 14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

Psalms 107: 11-14 KJV Favorite track: Chained To The Crypt.

Jordan Vauvert Pour Forest of Grief, son premier album, Old Nick décide de passer aux choses sérieuses : une pochette lugubre en nuances de gris chargée de symboles satanistes dessinée par un vrai graphiste, des thèmes mélancoliques et mortuaires à la pelle, et enfin un raw black metal médiéval. Mais pas de demi mesure chez Old Nick : les synthés ont le droit à leur quart d'heure de gloire. Accordéons, chiptune et effets en tous genres nous entraînent vers un passé ancien mais pas comme on s'y attend. Décalé ! Favorite track: Dead In The Moat.

meena_ballerina Ugh, I love the raw black metal and dungeon synth mix. Huge fan of the more grim theme in this album. And Abysmal Specter's vocals do something to me in my nether region... Sigh... Favorite track: Haunted In The Shire.

about

Raw black metal with dungeon synth elements. buzzing guitars with ghastly synthesizer assault. hauntingly medieval with a wiccan charm.

“Did Nick at any time refer to some person (real or mythic) or does the name go back to Engl. nicker “a water sprite”? In Old English, nicor was a sea monster, and Beowulf met many of them while swimming through the ocean. However, nicker is a word only folklorists today recognize easily, whereas Old Nick is still familiar to many. Some people even think that nickname (from an eke name “additional name”; eke as in eke out one’s salary, related to German auch “also” and so forth) is really Nick name, given intentionally to hoodwink the Devil: confused by a wrong name, the one not given at birth, the Devil will not fetch his victim. More than one etymologist suspected that Old Nick “nicks” (kills) people, that is, cuts them; leaves a notch in them; has something to do with their necks, or taunts them (compare German necken “tease”).”

The author further goes on to postulate that perhaps it comes from “Old Iniquity, the name of the devil in medieval plays.”
