I think this album is terrible. Not musically, but just as a matter of taste. It is much slower and more trebly than the black metal I usually prefer. however, it is really evil sounding and displays a lot of musical talent. So my review serves to inform, not to critique. Honestly, everybody has different tastes in music and metal, so I'm just trying to help people potentially avoid my mistake. The other reviews on here didn't really paint a good picture of the sound and I bought it thinking it would be fast and viking-esque. Anyway, it's mostly really slow and heavy, with a lot of echo and haunting vocals. So, if you can imagine a slow version of Mayhem's "Wolf's Lair Abyss" CD (really, really, slow, that is), that is KIND OF a good idea what this sounds like.
