Style: fast relentless infernal black metal

seminal sophomore longplay [1993] of infernal Scandinavian black metal institution was recorded during turbulent times at Dan Swanö's Hellspawn studio, where the legendary four-piece has ultimately and forever turned harsh, raw, fast-paced and relentless direction, establishing trademark extreme, penetrating and grim sound - this eight tracker is considered one of the reference points of the ferocious genre, exploring themes of darkness, occultism and anti-Christian sentiment, featuring such kult tracks as Wolves and On Darkened Wings, which are still performed in live rituals of ageless horde, exemplifying their trademark intensity and awe-inspiring aggression; recent French gatefold sleeve black 180g vinyl edition is limited to 480 units
