Out of print worldwide for over a decade, the band's milestone album finally receives a long-overdue re release, featuring revamped layout and liner notes by band founder Narqath. Helvetin Yhdeksän Piiriä, Finish for Nine Circles of Hell, the album was originally released in 1999 and quickly sold through it's first several pressings. One of Finland's oldest black metal bands with a vast catalog including full-length albums, countless EPs and splits, Azaghal require no introduction to metal fans worldwide. Performing a more bestial form of black metal in their early years, Azaghal's Helvetin Yhdeksän Piiriä exemplifies this approach, which alongside Impaled Nazarenes Tol Cormpt Norz, Norz, Norz and Horna's Kohti yhdeksän nousua, cemented the cornerstone of the now hugely popular and infamous Finish black metal sound. Years after it's original release Helvetin Yhdeksän Piiriä is as groundbreaking and relevant today as it was upon it's initial release.
