"After the blisteringly violent full-length Spellbinding Mysticism, Sceadugenga quickly returns to Grundhyrde to release yet another half-hour of unstoppable and incomparable raw black metal fury.
With the release of Spellbinding Mysticism, Grundhyrde officially arrived in complete form. With Keeper of the Abyss, Sceadugenga further elucidates this project’s grounded sonic and malicious intent, leaving no question of its dominance. With less than a year between these two momentous releases, one would think that some elements might be diluted. Nothing could be further from the truth. With this seven-track release, Grundhyrde further develops his masterful riff-heavy, Finnish-influenced, vile, and rancorous black metal style.
The shrieks and howls of the vocals lend an unwavering authenticity to the zeal and indignation inherent to this proud and belligerent traditional approach to Black Metal. The scorching drum blasts, rigorous and precise riffs, and the dynamic compositional approach displayed on this release put Grundhyrde into comparisons and conversations, unbefitting such a relatively new entity. Hit play and hold on."
