My only real complaint about this album is that it begs for some more acoustic interludes like in the first track, Wolf and Fear. I'm okay with the raw black metal production, I just wish they tried to make it a LITTLE more folk.

I would've really enjoyed this album had the production not been so raw and ear-piercing.

I agree wholeheartedly, Their first effort was so good. I mean, this album is a good listen, but I don't feel they're applying themselves as much. They were capable of so much more.

TBH I think this album would not have half the effect it does if it used a less raw production job, This album just sounds better this way.

We've all seen the effects of a "properly" produced black metal album (Burzum, Gorgoroth), and I think it's safe to say if it ain't broke... don't fix it.

What?
Meaning skepticism is for good. I just 'hate' that saying. You can always question things.
Anyway, with the re-burzum the problem wasn't with the production. It was the re-arranged structures & recording songwriting/habits mainly.

I would go further and say that this problem extends beyond black metal, Any genre of extreme metal (and Doom as well if you count it as extreme metal) suffers when you give it an overtly "glossy" production, It just makes the music sound soulless.
This album is as it is, No re-recordings or remasters necessary. I believe music is a statement of how the artist is feeling at the time and any tempering with it now would just fuck it up.

When it comes to metal albums, I think they should be enjoyed for what they were originally. I mean, with the original production. If you can't enjoy an album in its true form, just listen to something else.

Not true because albums occasionally get released without the production the band wanted. A good example is Nevermore's Enemies of Reality. The original was a total botch job of a shambles and was virtually unlistenable. Albums should be listened to how the creator originally intended which quite often is out of the creator's hands.

Sure, there can be some exceptions but I must say I'm usually against re-masters.

I'm against anything that needlessly adds shine to something that was ok. Sigh's 'Gallows Gallery' and Benighted's 'Insane Cephalic Production' are a couple of examples I can think of.

Here, we agree.
In case of a botched job from an engineer or producer, it's a different matter. I'm just against polishing albums in order to make them more accessible.

Same. Reminds me of Burzum and Gorgoroth's recent compilations...

(....Ulver that depicts the band riding in a convertible wearing black suits and sunglasses. Ulver took the money given to them by Century Black, bought those clothes and that car, and then proceeded to record the album on a four track cassette recorder in one of the forests in Norway...)
This is the biggest joke I have ever heard in my life. If you want to record 'Live" in a jungle your equipment set-ups could be more expensive than doing it in a studio. Every musical instrumet must be linked directly to the main high-end recording system.
The production of this album is extremely good and it had been done in a good studio in order to make the four pieces of musical sound so clearly seperated.
They purposely increased the treble to the highest frequency in order to make the atmosphere in a very intense, unrest, helpless and frightening mood. Of course if this was their intention then they would not increase the bass, as bass and drum are meant for generating warmer tones and stable mood.
Misintepreted this superior effect as bad prodution is very laughable and it shown the bad quality of metal fans nowdays.
