While their first album, Dark Medieval Times, was mainly based on fold melodies imposed over a traditional black metal frame, this second album by Satyricon shows Satyr's compositional abilities in full flower, and in this material he produced some of the finest (and also some of the most ambitious) Norwegian black metal songs to ever rise out of the genre. Absolutely epic, cold, monumentally grim and atmospheric pagan hymns in honor of their icebound homeland and the mystical rites of their ancestors. If you only gather a few black metal albums in your lifetime, make this one of them! Features Samoth of Emperor on bass as a session member.
