Algol was a Norwegian black death metal band formed in 1989 and released several demos and one full length album in the 90’s. ‘Entering the Woods of Enchantment’ is one of the most obscure and hard to find Norwegian extreme metal gems from the 90’s. A true much sought after underground gems, only one available on discogs (over 150 euros). Bonus are the ‘The Priests Are Laughing’ Demo 1992 and the ‘Witchsleep’ Demo 1993. All tracks restored and remastered by Achilleas Kalantsiz (Vio Lence, Possessed, Varathron). The booklet contains an extensive interview with guitarist / vocalist Thomas Andresen (also Fester, No). In April 1992 Algol played on a show not far from Oslo in the town of Askim. On that particular night also played Enslaved, Infinite Decay, Infernus and Emperor, who actually played their first ever gig ever. Euronymous from Mayhem had a stand selling stuff from his infamous Helvete shop there too.
