Tulus

By:	tr1sth3t
Date:	9 Feb 2011

The band that eventually morphed into, Khold, were formed back in 1991, by vocalist/ guitarist Blodstrop. With a demo release in 1994 titled, Samlerens Kammer, and shortly after in 1995, the ‘Midvintermane’ demo. The bands debut album, Pure Black Energy appeared in 1996, a primitive slurry of Darkthrone meets Satyricon in a muggy production. The slower moments, as on all Tulus albums do reveal the simmering Khold roots if you listen carefully.
In 1998, the second album Mysterion, was released. [strangely limited to 1500 copies]
This release featured the vocal lungs of Sarah Jezebel Diva, more known for her work with
Cradle of Filth/Therion and The Kovenant, amongst others. It is a criminal waste that this release was so limited as it is rather good, improving on the former, Pure Black Energy.
The bands final output, and best material came with the third and final release, Evil 1999. With its decisive guitar arrangements and melodic nature, this oozed that classic Norwegian Black Metal aura. One track in particular, Salme, is a near perfect example of that olden atmosphere set to ear crushing riffs and desolate vocal delivery. The lack of keyboards is another testimony to the song craft of Tulus, in creating songs with such abrasive tones yet also easy to digest.
The bands first two albums and demo’s can be found on the double cd, Cold Core Collection, released on, Hammerheart records in 2000. This has two cover songs, one of Obituary’s ‘Slowly we Rot, and a spine crushing version of David Bowies, Space Oddity. Pure brilliance form a very underrated act.
