"...With a single demo entitled "042103Freitod", FARSOT fathomed the boundaries of raw and cold Black Metal in 2004, and with their debut album "IIII", soon to be released via Lupus Lounge, they will enrich the genre with their very own crushing visions of the dark depths of the human psyche. In tracks changing between unpredictability and catchiness, this young band from Germany eschews crude sensationalism in order to penetrate subtly and insistently those dreaded corners of the soul that lurk within us all. Firmly rooted in dark Black Metal, FARSOT succeed in orchestrating musical contrasts in such an unexpected way, thus captivating the listener, that when hearing the final track of the album, you won't be asking yourself in what way gentle female choirs and Burzumesque darkness augment each other..."
[ ... ] The result is quite astonishing - still Black Metal, but in a very
unique form. So once again a clear prove that Black Metal is still "alive", that there are still bands out there able to play interesting music without leaving the typical elements of this genre behind. For me Black Metal has always been defined by terms like romantic and passionate, because it
is able to arouse very strong feelings. Having such definition in mind, FARSOT released a very good debut.

"With their self-released debut album "042103freitod" (2004), Farsot likewise achieved some success right from the start - soon, they were considered one of the most promising newcomers in Germany's black metal scene. Already on this early release Farsot were creating a thoroughly dismal mood, inviting the listener to wallow in deep melancholy and Todessehnsucht (yearning for death). Their debut recording has been sold out for a long time and is now re-released with enhanced artwork in an extraordinary Digipak as well."
All fans of Farsot can support the band by doing some simple promotion- work! If you're interested to do this, please send an email, including the band-name, to: manuela (at) prophecyproductions (dot) de
thanx for the add. Hope all is good for you. I've seen you live last year in Montbéliard (France) that was a great show. Have a good week. Hails from France.
Danke für die Freundschaft! Nachdem ich die DVD "Party San Metal Open Air 2008" angesehen hatte, kaufte ich "042103freitod" und "IIII". Euer Album "IIII" gefällt mir sehr gut, und ich höre oft die CD an :) Übrigens, ich habe eine Frage. Wie spricht man den Titel vom Album "IIII" aus? Viele Grüsse aus Tokio/Japan
