New York band Winter created the first authentic “doom metal” album with Into Darkness by reducing traces of Hellhammer’s originary sound to a frigid, apocalyptic funeral ritual in the ruins. A perfect concept from its bleak cover imagery inwards, Into Darkness remains a landmark recording from the sonic valley of death, a titanic glimpse beyond the shredded veil.
