OUIJA

Digipack reissue featuring 3 bonus tracks taken from the Promo 2000 release of the 1997 debut album by this veteran Spanish Black Metal band from Huesca, one of the pioneering acts of the country's extreme Metal scene during the 1990s. With "Riding into the Funeral Paths", OUIJA delivered a sound rooted in the second wave of Black Metal while developing a distinctive identity built upon aggression, melancholic atmospheres and a strong emphasis on melodic guitar work.

Rather than simply reproducing the Norwegian Black Metal formula of the era, the album stood out through its evocative and melodic approach, bringing it closer to some of the most atmospheric and epic expressions of the genre. Widely regarded as one of the cornerstone releases of Spanish Black Metal, this debut laid the foundations for later works such as "Ave Voluptatis Carnis" and "Fathomless Hysteros". The three bonus tracks from Promo 2000 also provide an interesting glimpse into the band's evolution towards a more mature and sophisticated sound.
