the final and longest song on the demo. It was also the first song that was recorded for it.
Slabbaert is/was a creature Flemish people called a Nekker, nix or Nikker. It was believed to be a 'waterdevil' who came out at night to search for lost children. Upon finding a child, he would then abduct it to a pond or ditch and devour it.
Some of you who live in Belgium/Flanders certainly have heard about the 'Nekkerhal' or a trainstation called 'Nekkerspoel'. Those names carry on the legacy and folklore of Slabbaert.

If “atmospheric black metal” implies majestic comedowns and dramatic dynamics, this powerhouse instead constitutes anti-atmospheric black metal. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 23, 2021
