Another trip back to the glory days of black metal, 1994 to be exact. This time you are treated with one of my favorite releases of the era. Jon Nödtveidt (RIP) of Dissection fame found an outlet for his harsh, raw, less epic or technical black metal tendencies here. And what we're left with is a release that embodies the true spirit of black metal in all it's satanic glory. Jon carries the moniker of "Rietas" on this particular disk and handles guitar, vocal and keyboard duties in a manner in which you're not accustomed if you're used to hearing his brilliance in Dissection with everything having a far more raw and aggressive tone overall. Famously known for his anti-cosmic, chaos gnostic satanist beliefs, Nödtveidt covers his journey down this path far more than he did in Dissection during this era. My only complaint is that most of the songs are a bit short in length, but make no mistake... This album is a classic!
