An awful lot of black metal bands sprang from Norway in the early 90s, many of which remain active and influential today. Kvist, on the other hand, seems to be a very short-lived and overlooked act, releasing only one album in 1995 before disbanding shortly after. Musically, "For Kunsten Maa Vi Evig Vike" is charged with unrelenting fury and venom to hold its own among Norway's best. In addition to the standard black metal instrumentation, the eerie synths and clearly audible bass in particular are a major draw for me.
