Out of Norway comes this Black Metal horde with an album that is truly amazing. I haven't heard such raw power in a long time. The music is mid-paced to fast, and aggressive as Hell, reminding me of early Emperor due to the fuzzy sound. Some Urgehal can also be heard here. This has to be heard!
The hatefilled vocals sound like they have been recorded in a huge crypt. This is something that reminds me of the mid '90ies. The vocals have similarities to those by Jon Nödtveidt of Dissection (R.I.P), but with more distortion to them. Most excellent!
The production is abit filthy and dark, rather bassoriented and with such aggression! You hear the guitar and the bass most in the mix, followed by the vocals, and then the drums slightly further back. This is reminiscent of days of yore, when the bands weren't as plentiful, and actually had a message to deliver that wasn't all words and no action. The tracks are usually short and to the point, without being annoyingly short.
Standout tracks are "Enter the Chasm", "Burnt at His Altar", "Black Witchcraft", "Unholy Blood Ritual" and "Into the Burning Pit of Hell", with "Enter the Chasm" being one of the best Black Metal tracks ever recorded, along with Armagedda's "My Eternal Journey", Ildjarn's "Skogssvinet" and a few others.
