Artist Origin: NOR
Style: severe grim atmospheric black metal
Condition: VG+/M

traditional Norwegian black metal legend is triumphantly back - their first and precisely important album after a significant hiatus puts the rebellious duo back on the map of raw and unholy artistry with newly introduced significant addition of catchiness: the music on six highly atmospheric and quite epic tracks almost entirely was written by Nocturno Culto, but Fenriz contributed all the lyrics except The Beast, co-written by Aldrahn [Dødheimsgard] and Fog; slowing down a bit they have gained more harmony and intricacy, followed by admittedly ear-friendly production, maintaining the aggressive side of music nonetheless; rare authentic Norwegian edition, released by Satyr's label
