Einst Verehrt Von Allen / Vae Victis

Einst Verehrt Von Allen / Vae Victis was released in 2003 as a split album featuring the black metal projects Odal and Raven's Empire. It was published by Christhunt Productions, a German underground label known for its focus on extreme metal genres. The release reflects the era's underground DIY scene, where split records were a common medium for small independent artists to pool resources and broaden their distribution within the specific niche of European black metal.

The album reflects the austere and atmospheric aesthetic characteristic of early 2000s underground black metal production. As is typical for releases on independent imprints of this nature, the design and art direction are minimal and rooted in the visual tropes of the genre. The record is intended for a collector demographic interested in the documented history of the continental European metal underground, rather than the mainstream commercial music market.
