Progenies Ov Light is the second release from cuban act Skjult. In the old day I used to avoid “one man acts” (outside of Burzum of course!) as they were usually pretty one dimensional and uninspired.
Skjult main man Conspirator has out done himself with this release, this album has more more urgency and savagery than debut release “within the flesh”
I don’t know very much (if anything at all about the Black metal scene in Cuba but this album makes me want to know more, fuck it – this album makes me want to book a trip down there just to check out the scene in Havana. A good friend of mine is a long time tattoo artist and him and his wife take frequent trips to Cuba to help the struggling artists in the Tattoo scene down there. Due to necessity and limited resources the tattoo artists come up with very inventive ways to ply their trade. I cannot even fathom what a Black metal group in Havana has to go through to make music happen (note Conspirator was also in the Cuban BM group Heretik)
This is good shit and only $10 for the CD – pick up a copy here:

The first 4 songs of Skjult were written in the June 2015 during the recording sessions of the first material of Conspirator´s main project called Heretik. So, June 2015 is probably the foundation date. Within The Flesh was completed and recorded in July-August 2015 and released in April 2016. Then re-released. This new edition included an instrumental (Over the Darkest Mist), a new song (The Void) and Darkthrone cover and was released in August 2016. From this date until August 2017 Skjult has been working on new material which will be included in the second full length under the title “Progenies ov Light”.
Line-up:
