Description

Double album on orange vinyls with 4 bonus live tracks.

This album is by far the most passionate album that Ragnarok ever produced. If there was one time where Ragnarok had a image and produced it extremely well, it would most definitely be this album. The atmosphere is a lot like Gorgoroth’s Under The Sign Of Hell. It’s aggressive and cold, but at times, has a nice epic side to it. Keyboard interludes can be heard in some songs, creating the main melody, yet not make the atmosphere loose it’s aggressive feeling. The guitars (obviously) make up the cold atmosphere, except there is a nice, hearable addition of a bass line within this album. In fact, I can firmly say that the bass line within this album is much easier to hear than a lot of other albums, in which there just somewhere is the back of the harmony. Thyme’s vocals are amazing on this album. The vocals are echoed quite often, which creates a dark creepy feeling and image of a voice creeping through the halls of hell. Overall, this album has almost everything you could possibly ask for in Black Metal. It’s passionate, dark, aggressive, and epic.
