BLACK METAL CLASSIC !!! OFTEN IMITATED, BUT NEVER SURPASSED !!!
This is the first EP with the two added Bathory cover tracks.+ The material present on this is the best Dark Funeral have ever recorded. The first four originals are excellent. The church organ-ish guitar riffs mixed with the superb drumming and over the top vocals make these songs top notch BM songs. "Open the Gates" is easily one of the best, if not the best songs Dark Funeral has ever done. "My Dark Desires" has a clip of Charles Manson near the end. "In the Sign of the Horns" has a really cool intro riff. "Shadows Over Transylvania" has some excellent drumming and guitar work.
