I remember well ordering this demo directly from Isengard productions / Eastclan. This was the first time I came in contact with Darken himself. After waiting for 3 months nearly giving up hope that I would ever recieve the tapes I ordered [I ordered Lord Wind, Thunderbolt, Minas Morgul and Absurd's "Thurigian pagan madness" too] I finally got a package from Poland. Man, was I glad. Enclosed also a hand written letter. I remember it had terrible handwritting that took quite some effort to deciver.

I think "In the Glare of Burning Churches" was the rawest shit I had ever heard back then. I remember my parents weren't too glad about it. They hated that tape ! As so they should of course.
The playful intro reminds me of Conan the barbarian which is a prominant influence in Darkens warrior mythos theme.
The title track is a monstrousity of aggressiveness and pounding energy which is bulking out of your speakers. You should really play this stuff loud for the right effect !
Darken performs some of his most ferocious vocals as he keeps on screaming at the top of his lungs.

"The night of fullmoon" is a mid pace track, a bit calmer. But there are two fucking great outbursts of Capricornus beating the drums with such intensity that it really freaks me out everytime I hear it and have to scream along !!
"The dark dusk abyss" is a ambient like track with half spoken grunted parts followed by another great track "Through the occult veil." This is also a mid tempo tempo track but again with a mean kind of aggressiveness to it thanks to the pounding drums of Capricornus. The last track "For pagan and heretic's blood" is a bit faster and even has kind of a swing to it from time to time. In this track, you hear Capricornus experimenting a bit working towards his folkish drum pace that he displays on later albums such as "1000 swords" and "Following the Voice of Blood."
The whole ends again with the Conan folk music.

A fucking awesome demo, I like this one much better then say "Drunemeton" "In the glare..." holds a special place amongst the Black Metal classics.
