A lot of people think that black metal is a style based only on violence and absence of harmony, that there isn't a connection between the music and the lyrics, and that it's only Satanic stuff. These people are wrong and albums like "Pure Holocaust" are the proof. Norwegian Black Metal band Immortal (R.I.P.) has made history in its genre, changing the style after 1997 into a kind of Thrash/Black that brought the band under the lore of the Label Nuclear Blast. But I'm not here to tell the story of one of the greatest bands ever, so let's review the second work of the Norwegian black metallers.

  Great album from these mighty Norsemen. I don't think it's their best, because a lot of dissonance is used.... But still, I consider it a BM essential that has a lot of good tracks. "Pure Holocaust" was my first black metal track.

Rating: 9 This album is excellent, I must have listened to this album a million times and its still as great now as the first time I heard it. Undoubtedly the pinnacle of Immortals career.

Rating: 8 Immortal were a fun band to watch a bloodstock. I guess the overall atmosphere created at that show more than matched the one created on this album. The moon was rising fully in the sky, and immortal played inhumanly fast and raw. Fucking great album.

Rating: 9 Hands down, its amazing and a big step up from their debut
