6-panel Digipack reissue of the second album from the Norwegian Joyless from 2005.
“Wisdom & Arrogance” is the second output of the project, but also the first to show JOYLESS in a comprehensive form, an evolution of the first wild signs that characterized the band’s debut, with songs swifting towards more contaminated negative rock territories.
The album has been indeed an influence on the scene and was released by the young Kvarforth (Shining) via his personal label Selbstmord Services.
Joyless presents different forms of hateful and negative music, showing the potential progression that Black Metal would have reached at a later stage, and making of JOYLESS a precursor of that irreverent attitude and creativity later flaunted by bands like Lifelover and Shining.
The new edition includes the 3 songs performed by the band on the split with Woods Of Infinity / Joyless - Uppgivet Hjärta / Eidyllion, dated 2005.
