The True Legend was first released back in 1998, on obscure German label Folter, but is now being re-released, after being partly re-recorded and remastered, along with a brand new layout and new cover artwork. There is no doubt that black metal fans will appreciate this release, especially as it has been out of print for quite some time. Its hard to describe the sound of Svartsyn, and while it would be easy to simply categorise the band as black metal, that would probably be doing a grave disservice to them. If we were going to gun for comparisons, we would probably be looking at earlier Rotting Christ, though mostly because of the vocals of Ornias, who also handles guitars and bass.
