I love this like nothing else in black metal:

Is this gonna be staff-picked for its 10th anniversary? If so, I would be glad to join the party.

Happy birthday number 10 to one of the greatest albums ever.

Motherfucking masterpiece right here.

Oh, wow. They finally fixed the list-directing thing. Now this album can look as important as it actually is.

This is really one of the few albums I can firmly say is worthy of all the hype that it gets. Incredibly spooky atmosphere and really varied songwriting too, I mean Minions for example (favorite track) is borderline drone-ish. Some people might think I'm overestimating the degree to which there is, but I personally heard a lot of influence from this album on the new Leviathan one, and it's part of why I love the latter so much as well.

Feel like i have to wipe the jizim from my eyes after reading through this thread.

Though it's good i like Leviathan better.

Nothing gets me through tough times like listening to this album and remembering that in the end we are all nothing and will never amount to anything.

Nihilism / Absurdism for the win.

Really that seems to be the most accurate summation of this album

It's definitely the ultimate comfort in nothingness record I would say.

You guys are keeping this circkejerk going ? .... let me join in.
I find it amazing that this album still has the ability to grow on me ... it hasn't yet plateaud in terms of how every subsequent listen feels, it's probably because i don't listen to it a lot but judging by how it still touches me after all this time, I can safely say that this is one of the highlights of my journey in music

People have different tastes - deal with it

Haha sorry guys I didn't see your votes. But I bet you two are cool.

One of them gave a 7 to the newest Liturgy. A seven... Just like this album. That's all I'm gonna say.

Oh no, that must mean he really is a poser.

Another album, that makes me want to create my own music and completely give up at the same time. Pretty much the best thing I've ever listened to.

First listen, and i don't want to cream my pants like most on this thread...but, good enough to warrant a second listen. perhaps i'll cream then...fingers crossed.

The greatest sample of all time

^noice!

Anyone know from where the really short sample on Minions (6:22) is taken from?

According to my google-jitsu, The sample is a dude saying ""desecration of Christ" and it comes from The Exorcist: The Beginning.

The sampling is unbelievable strong on this album. Probably my favorite album in that regard. The unnerving crows in the beginning, The foreboding sample from The Omen on "Spectre As Valkerie Is", Silvia's sample of course is an absolute masterpiece. I wonder if the line "Conquer or Serve?" from "Vortex Chalice" is a sample or just Wrest's voice heavily manipulated, either way... Chills all over my spine! <3

Thanks for the info!

Agree about the samples. I think atmospheric/doomy BM could really benefit of more sampling. Just add a nihilistic movie quote, some reverb, and the song instantly becomes better!

I had an odd experience with this album the other day. I was listening to it and I happened to get up and looked in a mirror, and I thought, listening to something like this while looking at a mirror will make you hate yourself

Either that or make you see the odd black figure staring at you. A ghostly album no doubt.
