Description

Double album on black vinyls with one bonus track and gatefold cover. Fourth pressing. Limited 400 copies

Black metal outfit Watain emerged from Uppsala, Sweden, in 1998, quickly gaining underground credibility with an uncompromising 7″ release entitled The Essence Of Black Purity then solidifying their commitment to the dark metal arts via 2000s thematically shocking but instrumentally accomplished, Rabid Death’s Curse album. Imagine a cross between early Bathory and Dissections The Somberlain album. Throw in a production value reminiscent of A Blaze In the Northern Sky and you should get a general idea of what this sounds like. Does anyone remember when you could hear the bass guitar in black metal? No? Well I dont really either, Im just trying to make a point here. You can hear it on this album, and it wouldnt be half as good as it is if you couldnt. An entirely new dimension is opened up, particularly when the melodic leads are playing. This is probably because in most parts theres only one guitar, so theres usually no backing guitar riff to go along with the melodies. But rest assured, the music wouldnt be as dark if the bass was replaced with another guitar like in every other black metal band ever (maybe theyre on to something here). As for the vocals, theyre quite similar to Jon from Dissection, though theyre a bit hoarser and much darker. And the riffs, well I already explained that they were old Bathory influenced with creepy leads throughout, what I didnt say was that not a single one is bad. Every single riff and melody is absolutely perfect, and I can safely say that if I had to listen to this every day for the next ten years I would not get bored. Ever. Basically what Im saying is that this is black metal perfection.
