Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite black metal albums and i must say that in my opinion is a mandatory addition to the library of any fan of the genre. While "deathcrush" may be more influential, this album's importance cannot be denied. This was the transition between the early black metal of Bathory, and Venom to the modern style of bands like Emperor, Gorgoroth and such.
There are two ways to go when it comes to the early second wave material. The Burzum route, with a more ambient approach, and the Mayhem way, simple brutal music. On this cd mayhem shows a bit more maturity going past gore ridden lyrics like Chainsaw Gutsf**k to a more depressing, darker outlook. Most likly the influence of former vocalist Dead. the reason this album stands out for me is that each song is a classic. From Funeral Fog with its brutal thrash opening, To the title track's dark Riffs. The highlight of this album is easily Freezing Moon which is without a doubt Mayhem's greatest song. opening with pure dark ambience leading into a furious verse and chorus going into one of Euronymous' only solos (and a great solo at that). The production is also better than most black metal at the time.
The things that most people seem to dislike about this album is Atilla's vocal delivery. which is certainly not typical black metal shrieking, but rather a very low almost gargle. I find that the way Atilla delivers the vocals gives the music an even darker edge, and the way he "sings" Freezing moon i find superior too Dead's version on "Live In Liepzig".
Bottomline this is a great cd seething with fury and hatred that encapsulates the modern black metal movement, and is a must for the collection of fan of the Second wave of black metal.
