Melodic romantic epic is the flavor of this record, which takes the sweeping style of a modern black metal band like Dimmu Borgir and exploits simple hardcore styles underneath to produce an essentially compact and beautiful majesty of sound. As on many black metal records, the primary tactic is to engender melody through flooding over overlapping microtones broken out by distortion, causing an affect of overall attraction that makes a liquid melody from metallic subelements. | Kvist throw together phrases with some assertion but then undercut this power with often predictable, embarrassingly-obvious connections that seek to maintain tonal balance rather than exploit its unbalance. Despite this primary compositional want they produce music that keeps itself together with driven rhythm and the pulse of guitar tones, building simple stepping-stone riffs like a punk band but linking these through strobing rippingly fast power drives that bring percussive excitement as the cavalry to save this music. Review by: mezzadurus Very good album, one of my favorites ; dark and malefic "stuppet" is a masterpeace ; It's a pity that this band is over... Review by: undead'spath Very great album. If you like "Nemesis Divina" of Satyricon, you would probably enjoy this opus. Voices sound like Satyr's vocals: very interesting. The music is melodic and brutal at the same time. I'm waiting for the next album... Review by: quintessence this is one of the masterpiece of melodic black metal! it's melodic and at the same time speed and furios!very good but unknown album! Review by: impaled god GREAT!!! First Borknagar is my favourite album BUT this is for me the greatest blackmetal album ever! Beautiful dark atmosphere ... sometimes SO sad but full of hate! extreme Darkness! I dont see ANY bad things on this album is awesome! I forgot:-) And this album is Pure underground AND im glad that they dont exist now because second album i think will be crap it it stand near the firt one:-) We must hail thy art Review by: parom Superb black metal. Ars Manifesti is a classic track that's on my PDA's playlist along with several Immortal and Marduk tracks. Only the production quality drops this from 10/10 to 9/10 Review by: nordicfan Asolutely one of the very best black metal albums of all time. Melodic and yet very basic and raw in the best sense of the word (er, or words). A rare classic. Review by: snowbeast This album is amazing. Reminds me of Emperor's "Nightside" a bit. These guys have written some very awesome songs here. They seem very talented at their intruments too. Mainly fast and grim black metal with a touch of keyboards. Essential if you are into early 90's black metal. Review by: Rimmon very good black metal with typicall norvegian spirit-evil and brutal-the way it should be played this kind of music-of course again norvegians show to the other bands how should be played real black metal-not gothic with black vokals-pure nordic black metal.One more approvement that only norvegians can play real black metal-very,very EVIL Review by: iudicium Simply one of the best black metal albums of all times... evil syhmponic black metal, a Must for everyone!
