Empty’s first album, released two decades ago, for the first time on vinyl. Limited to 280 gatefold copies on 140gr black double LP, “A Source of Hollow Essence” has been remastered at Moontower Studios and features a new layout with previously unreleased pics at the Monasterio de Piedra. A magnificent work full of mournful melodies, framed in the unholy black metal from the days of the early Emperor, Enslaved, or Gorgoroth as main standard bearers.

For some scholars, “Wolf’s Lair Abyss” is the work that really explains Mayhem’s sound, beyond the legendary “De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas”. Here, that classic black metal prowess meets the further evolution of the band, with that experimentation resulting in a cult EP, dark and lethal. The perfect blend of every side of the Norwegian beast, the missing link between their first album and “Grand Declaration of War”.
