Wow! How did this hide under my radar for so long?! One of the best black metal albums I've heard and I've listened to a lot. A hidden gem from 1991 Czech Republic. Very atmospheric and black! Now to find a physical copy I can afford. It seems to be rare.

I would call this. . . . masterpiece.

This is very ahead of its time. Black Metal, Post-Metal, Avantgarde Metal, a bit melodic and atmospheric, not sure anything followed this, years before others catch up.

Rather unimpressed with this. Really annoying vocals and buzzy guitar tone. It contains some cool ideas and interesting song structure, but overall it felt pretty meh.

It has some pretty great moments and I actually like the vocals. Sound evil to me. Catchy riffs that need just a little better production but hey, this is from friggin '91. Most 2nd wave bm bands where in their diapers at this time. A must listen for the history-curious of us.

For the even more history-curious, check their demos.

This is very very overlooked.
