Utumno - yes, taken from the LotR series - was a fairly unknown and unrecognized death metal band whom formed 1990 in
Västerås, Sweden. This EP was the last of three recordings - including a 1990 demo and a 1991 single - released by the band before their breakup; presumably short after the release of Across the Horizon. I have personally always really liked this EP and in some sense, find it to be an almost definitive artifact of the more somber, sophisticated and well-thought out death metal from around that era. There is a definitely a lot of different - although more hinting - styles and approaches packed into the record, and although the band is of Swedish origin, their sound seems to blend in almost entirely to early bands of the Finnish death metal scene. Highly recommend for everyone who is even so much as remotely into death metal.
