# Carpathian Forest

**Carpathian Forest** is a black metal band, from Norway, active 1992 to present.

Carpathian Forest is a band characterized by a raw and aggressive form of Norwegian black metal, combining the primitive ferocity of early 1990s extreme metal with an unmistakable sense of decadence, nihilism, and morbid atmosphere. Their sound merges cold, tremolo-driven guitar riffs, lo-fi music production, and harsh, rasping vocals with an undercurrent of punk-inspired immediacy.
