Reception

Peaceville records took up what they described as a classic album for a re-release on their label.^[1]

Sonic Abuse describe Høstmørke as "a stunning, icy collection of folk, doom, black metal and rock all held together by the charismatic strength of Fenriz’s idiosyncratic voice and the sheer wealth of influences that can be found throughout the disc", and praise Peaceville for the "more than worthy" reissue.^[2]
