Additional info
Originally recorded at Dan Swanö's Unisound Studios but the band did not like the dull sound so it was re-recorded at Peter Tägtgren's The Abyss.
The 2007 Regain Records reissue (limited to 3000 copies) comes with a bonus disc containing the original recording of the album at Unisound Studios.
The 2010 Back on Black vinyl-reissue comes with a bonus 12" containing the same Unisound Recording but without track 9 "Call From the Grave".
Cover artwork by Necrolord.

After a good mini-cd published in 1994, one of the most malicious bands came back with a beautifull full length called "The Secrtes of The Black Arts" (great title and catchy artwork of the cover that represents a sect coming from an ancient temple carrying a kind of coffin). Eleven songs of pure strength, devotion to Satan and screams that we had never heard from other black metal bands; Themgoroth dedicated odes to his lord like no one had done before and Blackmoon wrote some of the best lyrics in all the BM world.

Their best, best artwork, song tittles, when you hold booklet it creates atmosphere, later albums cant work to me. I knew this since hmmm I was 19, still like this album, only one from this band.

The best things here are the cover art (same artist who made, for example, Storm of the Light's Bane) and ex-Necrophobic guitarist David Parland. His riffs from The Nocturnal Silence are very recognizable here. Otherwise, it sounds like standard black metal to me. Good, but nothing exceptional for me

Written by F3ynman on 17.08.2022 at 22:20 I finally got around to checking this album and I agree with you. I expected more, but it's not really anything special. To these ears, at least.
