If I could I would give this album 10 stars, it is that good. Albeit this album was made 2 years after the first Norwegian black metal albums were released, the material for this LP has existed since 1988 (at least). Without Euronymous and Dead’s inspiration for this album, we wouldn’t have had Norwegian black metal. All 8 tracks of this album are great, and generate an amazing atmosphere. What happened with the band between 1991 and 1993 was quite sad, Varg is to be hated because of what he did. But with all of that being said, seriously go give this album a listen. It got me absorbed into black metal and Im sure it will for you as well. Hail Euronymous and Dead!
