The mass influx of new and upcoming black metal bands during (and well beyond) the '90s introduced -- by way of competition, inspiration, and admiration -- a slew of content for audiences to sift through. Some bands quickly separated from the rest like oil atop water, rising to the top due to their instrumental mastery, engaging songwriting process, unique sound, and/or unorthodox stylistic choices.

Marking seven years since the incredibly unfortunate death of Valfar. This album is perhaps his best work, with the chilling and unsettlingly real "Journey To The End" to mark the end. Baz Anderson's picks | More picks ›› |

Journey To The End is the best epitaph ever I embraced my vision, as it was common for me, A fate, a destiny, an inevitable early death Finally I'm dead, And the vision is revealed for everyone else.
---- My rest seems now calm and deep Finally I got my dead man sleep

Written by Guest on 15.08.2011 at 18:26 Technically, no. You're posting something relevant to the topic at hand - but it's a little spammy for sure, in that three separate sections of the site don't need to know the exact same thing. Although you are adhering to the 101 Rules of Being a Metal Stormer.

Somehow this one doesn't click with me like Arntor and Likferd do. Strange, because many apparently consider this album to be their best one. Still great stuff. Not many bands are as consistent in terms of quality as Windir, that's for sure.

Ignore my last comment. Spun this around 5 times now and it's totally awesome. This might very well be the most consistent band ever, for me. All of their material, especially their last 3 albums, are excellent.

Can't even see him cause I ignored him, so fuck 'im. I don't like this album anyway, so I'd probably end up agreeing with him, too.

RIP. These guys were great and nobody else sounds quite like them. Something about how they combined those epic tremolo marches with those hypnotic clean treble leads just works so well.

Written by Erik M. on 01.04.2014 at 23:04 I agree whit you, well its bands 1th in English, artwork is super good as BM artworks should be, but music somehow in last part of album it lost somewhere to pop, and softness I dunno why I had such leafing, but opening half was super good, more aggressive , less melodic or aggressive melodic if we can say so.

Fun and danceable black metal. Perfect fusion of folk elements and this is what Emperor wished to achieve in their overrated in the nightside eclipse.
