Thy Serpent was one of those formative if forgotten black metal bands of the 90s. Talented composers with a trio of decent albums under their belts and a number of EPs. Of the three full-lengths, I have always enjoyed 'Forests of Witchery' the most. There is a poetic grace to this album which was rare in the 20th century, every song on this album is a beautiful construction which evokes rustic euphoria and lost pagan arts.
